Our country and all the other socialist countries want peace; so do the peoples of all the countries of the world. The only ones who crave war and do not want peace are certain monopoly capitalist groups in a handful of imperialist countries that depend on aggression for their profits.

Disarmament is the ideal of socialism. There will be no wars in socialist society; consequently, disarmament will be achieved.

Freedom is not only the absence of being in jail, just as it is always said that peace is not merely the absence of war.

Peace is not just the absence of conflict; peace is the creation of an environment where all can flourish regardless of race, color, creed, religion, gender, class, caste or any other social markers of difference.

True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.

The peace we seek and need means much more than mere absence of war. It means the acceptance of law, and the fostering of justice, in all the world.
