Quote by King George V
I have many times asked myself whether there can be more potent advocates of peace upon earth through the years to come than this massed multitude of silent witnesses to the desolation of war.
Summary
This quote suggests that there are few advocates for peace as compelling as those who have directly experienced the destructive impacts of war. The "massed multitude of silent witnesses" refers to the soldiers and civilians who have faced the devastation caused by conflict. The quote proposes that their firsthand experiences and the desolation they have witnessed make them particularly powerful advocates for peace. Their agony serves as a reminder of the urgent need to promote peace and prevent the recurrence of such devastation in the future.
