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.

Unable to create a meaningful life for itself, the personality takes its own revenge: from the lower depths comes a regressive form of spontaneity: raw animality forms a counterpoise to the meaningless stimuli and the vicarious life to which the ordinary man is conditioned. Getting spiritual nourishment from this chaos of events, sensations, and devious interpretations is the equivalent of trying to pick through a garbage pile for food.

The territorial state is such an ancient form of society - here in Europe it dates back thousands of years - that it is now protected by the sanctity of age and the glory of tradition. A strong religious feeling mingles with the respect and the devotion to the fatherland.
