Text Quotes
As a soldier, I survived World War I when most of my comrades did not  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) As to the first, I do not know that I have done very much myself to promote fraternity between nations but I do know that there can be no more important purpose for any man’s activity or interests.  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) A great gulf, however, has been opened between man’s material advance and his social and moral progress, a gulf in which he may one day be lost if it is not closed or narrowed.  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) The best defence of peace is not power, but the removal of the causes of war, and international agreements which will put peace on a stronger foundation, than the terror of destruction.  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) Until the last great war, a general expectation of material improvement was an idea peculiar to Western man. Now war and its aftermath have made economic and social progress a political imperative in every quarter of the globe  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) True there has been more talk of peace since 1945 than, I should think, at any other time in history. At least we hear more and read more about it because man’s words, for good or ill, can now so easily reach the millions  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) 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  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) But while we all pray for peace, we do not always, as free citizens, support the policies that make for peace or reject those which do not. We want our own kind of peace, brought about in our own way  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) We must keep on trying to solve problems, one by one, stage by stage, if not on the basis of confidence and cooperation, at least on that of mutual toleration and self-interest  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) As a civilian during the Second War, I was exposed to danger in circumstances which removed any distinction between the man in and the man out of uniform  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) 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  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) The choice, however, is as clear now for nations as it was once for the individual: peace or extinction  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) It has too often been too easy for rulers and governments to incite man to war  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) When you’re special to a cat, you’re special indeed, she brings to you the gift of her preference of you, the sight of you, the sound of your voice, the touch of your hand  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) We know now that in modern warfare, fought on any considerable scale, there can be no possible economic gain for any side. Win or lose, there is nothing but waste and destruction  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) Today the predatory state, or the predatory group of states, with power of total destruction, is no more to be tolerated than the predatory individual  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) Today continuing poverty and distress are a deeper and more important cause of international tensions, of the conditions that can produce war, than previously  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) Every state has not only the right but the duty to make adequate provision for its own defense in the way it thinks best, providing it does not do so at the expense of any other state  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) As to the first, I do not know that I have done very much myself to promote fraternity between nations but I do know that there can be no more important purpose for any man’s activity or interests  (Lester B Pearson Quotes) A great gulf, however, has been opened between man’s material advance and his social and moral progress, a gulf in which he may one day be lost if it is not closed or narrowed  (Lester B Pearson Quotes)
