“Modern society, based as it is on the division of labor, can be preserved only under conditions of lasting peace.”

“Whoever wants peace among nations must seek to limit the state and its influence most strictly.”

“If some peoples pretend that history or geography gives them the right to subjugate other races, nations, or peoples, there can be no peace.”

“Peace and not war is the father of all things.”

“Society has arisen out of the works of peace the essence of society is peacemaking.”

“The attainment of the economic aims of man presupposes peace.”

“To defeat the aggressors is not enough to make peace durable. The main thing is to discard the ideology that generates war.”

“Whoever wishes peace among peoples must fight statism.”
