In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides, we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.

Queen Elizabeth II

Gentleness is the antidote for cruelty.

Phaedrus

I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.

Albert Einstein

Sons have always a rebellious wish to be disillusioned by that which charmed their fathers.

Aldous Huxley

There is nothing assured to mortals.

Horace

There was no gleam, no shadow, for the heavens, too, were one still, pale cloud; no sound or motion in anything but the dark river that flowed and moaned like an unresting sorrow.

George Eliot

Rumor grows as it goes.

Virgil

I never did, or countenanced, in public life, a single act inconsistent with the strictest good faith; having never believed there was one code of morality for a public, and another for a private man

Thomas Jefferson

To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow the coup de grace for the painter as well as for the picture.

Pablo Picasso

The opinions that the price of commodities depends solely on the proportion of supply and demand, or demand to supply, has become almost an axiom in political economy, and has been the source of much error in that science.

David Ricardo

I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

Agatha Christie

The truth doesn't have to do with cruelty, the truth has to do with mercy.

Ken Kesey
