Peaceful

Famous quotes containing the word peaceful:

“Under peaceful conditions, the warlike man attacks himself.”

“Flushed with new life, the crowd flows back again:
And all is tangled talk and mazy motion—
Much like a waving field of golden grain,
Or a tempestuous ocean.
And thus they give the time, that Nature meant
For peaceful sleep and meditative snores,
To ceaseless din and mindless merriment
And waste of shoes and floors.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

“To give the victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
