I'm on the board of directors for Peace Now, which works tirelessly between the Palestinians and the Israelis to create peace in the Middle East and we've never been closer.

Isaac and I are going to Israel to ride for peace enviromental justice and a safer world for us all.

I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited government, and minding our own business overseas.

If you want peace work for justice.

He wants only to rest and to have a little peace.

I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.

The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence.

The choice, however, is as clear now for nations as it was once for the individual: peace or extinction.

The grim fact is that we prepare for war like precocious giants, and for peace like retarded pygmies.

True there has been more talk of peace since 1945 than, I should think, at any other time in history. At least we hear more and read more about it because man's words, for good or ill, can now so easily reach the millions.

Of all our dreams today there is none more important - or so hard to realise - than that of peace in the world. May we never lose our faith in it or our resolve to do everything that can be done to convert it one day into reality.

I cannot think of anything more difficult than to say something which would be worthy of this impressive and, for me, memorable occasion, and of the ideals and purposes which inspired the Nobel Peace Award.

I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given to participate in that work as a representative of my country, Canada, whose people have, I think, shown their devotion to peace.

It would be especially tragic if the people who most cherish ideals of peace, who are most anxious for political cooperation on a wider than national scale, made the mistake of underestimating the pace of economic change in our modern world.

And I have lived since - as you have - in a period of cold war, during which we have ensured by our achievements in the science and technology of destruction that a third act in this tragedy of war will result in the peace of extinction.

There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, without community.

Let's win the peace and democracy the good people of Iraq so richly deserve after decades of tyranny.

Avarice seems to have so pervaded our vital principles as to battle all hopes of a remedy but for peace and plenty.
