Blessed are the peacemakers on earth.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead! In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger.
It is excellent / To have a giant's strenght / But it is tyrannous / To use it like a giant (Isabella)
In God's name cheerly on, courageous friends, To reap the harvest of perpetual peace By this one bloody trial of sharp war.
I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more, is none
Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.
The time of universal peace is near. Prove this a prosp'rous day, the three-nooked world Shall bear the olive freely.
Were it my cue to fight, I should have known it Without a prompter.
Corruption wins not more than honesty. Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, To silence envious tongues.
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility.
I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.
The tongues of dying men enforce attention like deep harmony.
A peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.
