Text Quotes
People have the right to come and choose their own political solutions  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) We need human security: food, education, health care for our children  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) I believe in a non-killing future  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) We need radical thinking, creative ideas, and imagination  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) To stand up for peace and against war and for disarmament is very courageous here in America  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) There is no political will for peace in the Israeli government. They’re not serious about political peace because they’re still building settlements and demolishing Palestinian homes. That is a great tragedy.  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) The experience of a lot of us women is that too much money is being spent on militarism and war  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) To me the Nobel Peace laureates should not be hosted by a State Department that is continuing with war, removing basic civil liberties and human rights and international law and then talking about peace to young people. That’s a double standard.  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) That will be my focus: building a culture that moves away from militarism  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) I think Assange has been very courageous. I’ve also defended Bradley Manning. I think they’ve been tremendously courageous in telling the truth, and the public has the right to the truth.  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) We as a human family are on this train that is taking us into more and more war and more and more abuse of human rights where a lot of civilians are being killed and where human rights and international law are being set aside by America and NATO.  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) It’s okay to be scared, but fear is different. Fear is when we let being scared prevent us from doing what love requires of us.  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) I witnessed a lot of violence, and I found myself asking the question: Do you ever use violence to try to bring about political change?  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) It’s not for me to say from the outside what the Palestinian people should have. That would be very arrogant.  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) ...I believe, with Gandhi, that we need to take an imaginative leap forward toward fresh and generous idealism for the sake of all humanity - that we neeed to renew this ancient wisdom of nonviolence, to strive for a disarmed world, and to create a culture of nonviolence.  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) Our common humanity is more important than all the things that divide us  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) We need now to build a culture of geniune nonviolence and real democracy  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) We frail humans are at one time capable of the greatest good and, at the same time, capable of the greatest evil. Change will only come about when each of us takes up the daily struggle ourselves to be more forgiving, compassionate, loving, and above all joyful in the knowledge that, by some miracle of grace, we can change as those around us can change too  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) It’s okay to be scared, but fear is different. Fear is when we let being scared prevent us from doing what love requires of us  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) We can rejoice and celebrate today because we are living in a miraculous time. Everything is changing and everything is possible  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) Everyday there are people in our world that do absolutely amazing things. People of all ages are very capable of doing tremendous, courageous things in spite of their fear  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) I support this proposal and agree with this great and important initiative to abolish militarism and war. I will continue to speak out for an end to the institution of militarism and war and for institutions built on international law and human rights and nonviolent conflict resolution  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) We have really got to create a culture in our world today where we recognize that every human life is sacred and precious and we have no right to take another human life  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) To enable consensus politics to develop we need to empower people where they live. This means devolving financial resources and political power down to the community level. One of the greatest blocks to movement is fear. This fear can only be removed when people feel their voices are being heard by government and when they have a say in their own lives and communities  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) If we want to reap the harvest of peace and justice in the future, we will have to sow seeds of nonviolence, here and now, in the present  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) We are all invited to work together for peace. We shall join hands and minds to work for peace through active nonviolence. We shall help one another, encourage one another and learn from one another how to bring peace to our children and to all  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes) I believe we are on the edge of a quantum leap into a whole new way of organizing and living as a human family  (Mairead Corrigan Quotes)
