Quote by Henry Van Dyke

A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war.

A peace that depends on fear is nothing but a suppressed war

Summary

This quote highlights that true peace cannot be maintained if it is based on a foundation of fear. When peace is only achieved through the suppression or intimidation of others, it inevitably harbors underlying tensions and potential conflict. Genuine peace should be cultivated through understanding, empathy, and cooperation rather than by instilling fear and dominance. It serves as a reminder that sustainable peace is achieved when people unite and resolve their differences peacefully, rather than through the suppression and oppression of others.
