PEACE PEACE
They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation neither shall they learn war any more.
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and
the leopard shall lie down with the kid.
Isaiah. XI. 6.
We love peace as we abhor pusillanimity; but
not peace at any price. There is a peace more
destructive of the manhood of living man than
war is destructive of his material body. Chains
are worse than bayonets.
Douglas Jerbold—Jerrold's Wit. Peace.
It is thus that mutual cowardice keeps us in
peace. Were one-half of mankind brave and
one-half cowards, the brave would be always
beating the cowards. Were all brave, they
would lead a very uneasy life; all would be continually fighting; but being all cowards, we go
on very well.

A heart that was humble might hope for it
