I feel that my father's greatest legacy was the people he inspired to get involved in public service and their communities to join the Peace Corps to go into space. And really that generation transformed this country in civil rights social justice the economy and everything.

Men and women who know the brutal reality of war who know that war strips people of their very humanity must unite in a new global partnership for peace.

Mankind will never win lasting peace so long as men use their full resources only in tasks of war. While we are yet at peace let us mobilize the potentialities particularly the moral and spiritual potentialities which we usually reserve for war.

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.

Were there peace and justice in the Middle East the Arabs would no more need their tinhorn dictators than they would their corpulent princes.

Many African leaders refuse to send their troops on peace keeping missions abroad because they probably need their armies to intimidate their own populations.

If there are finer beings than German short hairs I don't know what they are. In their eyes is peace.

Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's if we are always criticizing trivial actions - which often are not real defects at all but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.

In peace sons bury their fathers. In war fathers bury their sons.

These martyrs of patriotism gave their lives for an idea.

Our platform calls for a balanced deficit reduction plan where the wealthy pay their fair share. And when your country is in a costly war with our soldiers sacrificing abroad and our nation facing a debt crisis at home being asked to pay your fair share isn't class warfare - it's patriotism.

Jews have had to carry around their own sense of self in a carpet bag and I think perhaps too much emphasis might be being put on nationality and on the other hand patriotism that sort of thing.

If terror groups are to be defeated it is national governments that will have to do so. In nations like India governments will have to call on the patriotism of citizens to fight the terrorists. In a nation like Pakistan the government will have to be persuaded to deal with those in their midst who are complicit.

America beats on you so hard the whole time. You are constantly being pummeled by other people's rights and their sense of patriotism.

Across the country military families are facing dire financial circumstances due to longer than expected tours of duties. They are being penalized for their patriotism - no one should have to choose between doing right by their country and doing right by their families.

In every society in human history including the United States those in power seek to imbue themselves with the attributes of religion and patriotism as a way of getting greater support for their policy and insulating themselves from any criticism.

Men in authority will always think that criticism of their policies is dangerous. They will always equate their policies with patriotism and find criticism subversive.

They are patriotic in time of war because it is to their interest to be so but in time of peace they follow power and the dollar wherever they may lead.

Liberals become indignant when you question their patriotism but simultaneously work overtime to give terrorists a cushion for the next attack and laugh at dumb Americans who love their country and hate the enemy.

My relationship with the Philharmonia Orchestra brought me many times to London and I will always reflect positively on that early period of development with them - their patience their warmth their dedication.

My impression is that most women public service workers have a long fuse. Precisely because they care so deeply about services more than anyone they still want to find a sensible and fair negotiated agreement. But their patience has run out.

I've worked so hard to eliminate the inner geek from my life. I suddenly realize I have no patience for those people who still have their geeks showing. Now I see why being 'normal' has been so important to me.

So when I do Chinese cooking I mix everything together then the kids have to eat their vegetables. They won't have the patience to pick them out.

It has taken a great deal of energy which has not been so difficult to summon as the necessary patience to wait simply wait much of the time - until my instincts assured me that I had assembled my materials in proper order for a final welding into their natural form.
