“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.”

“Here is my prescription to heal all wounds. Watch the film 'Funny Girl' at least five times, eat at least 45 chocolate bars, and hang out with all those friends you blew off to hang out with your ex. I truly believe that, through a combination of Nutella, old pals and Barbra Streisand, we can achieve happiness and, very probably, world peace.”

“I feel beautiful when I'm at peace with myself. When I'm serene, when I'm a good person, when I've been considerate of others.”

“But I try to steal other moments. Sometimes I get up very early in the morning and enjoy a quiet house and cup of tea before the craziness begins. Other times, I'll take a quick walk on the beach. You can find peace in a few minutes.”

“Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.”

“I share the opinion of those of broader vision, who see in the signs of the time hope of humanity for peace.”

“War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.”

“You don't make peace with friends. You make it with very unsavory enemies.”

“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”
