Quote by William Allen White

Peace without justice is tyranny.

Peace without justice is tyranny.

Summary

This quote suggests that peace, when not accompanied by justice, can become oppressive and unjust. It implies that a so-called peaceful state can still be considered oppressive if the underlying principles of justice and fairness are absent. It challenges the notion that peace alone should be the ultimate goal, highlighting the importance of addressing underlying social and political inequalities to achieve a truly just and lasting peace. Without justice, peace can become a mechanism for maintaining control and perpetuating oppressive systems. Therefore, justice must be a crucial component for peace to be truly meaningful and beneficial to all.

War is the great scavenger of thought. It is the sovereign disinfectant, and its red stream of blood is the Condy's Fluid that cleans out the stagnant pools and clotted channels of the intellect. We have awakened from an opium-dream of comfort, of ease, of that miserable poltroonery of the sheltered life. Our wish for indulgence of every sort, our laxity of manners, our wretched sensitiveness to personal inconvenience, these are suddenly lifted before us in their true guise as the specters of national decay; and we have risen from the lethargy of our dilettantism to lay them, before it is too late, by the flashing of the unsheathed sword.
