Peacekeeper Quotes (12 quotes)

“Pick a leader who will keep jobs in your country by offering companies incentives to hire only within their borders, not one who allows corporations to outsource jobs for cheaper labor when there is a national employment crisis. Choose a leader who will invest in building bridges, not walls. Books, not weapons. Morality, not corruption. Intellectualism and wisdom, not ignorance. Stability, not fear and terror. Peace, not chaos. Love, not hate. Convergence, not segregation. Tolerance, not discrimination. Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance, not superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Environmental improvement and preservation, not destruction. Truth, not lies.”

“Pick a leader who will make their citizens proud. One who will stir the hearts of the people, so that the sons and daughters of a given nation strive to emulate their leader's greatness. Only then will a nation be truly great, when a leader inspires and produces citizens worthy of becoming future leaders, honorable decision makers and peacemakers. And in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. Their leadership must be steered only by their conscience, not a bribe.”

“...Helen sipped peppermint schnapps and considered the world made of her design. My religion is keeping peace, she thought. It hadn't begun that way, was nothing she'd planned, but now she saw that's how it was. I just ran a grocery, she thought. I don't want this. I ain't the one to make the world right.”

“But daylight brought with it a wonder. None of us had expected to see it again. And as the darkness lost its intensity, the new beginning carried with it sounds of subdued Timorese chatter. I hadn’t realised I’d started counting survival in hours.”

“Ain't Hands But Hammer
(Reformer's Sonnet)

Mine ain't hands but hammer -
to knock down walls of prejudice.
Mine ain't brain but bulldozer -
to crush all bigoted rubbish.

Brain is needed, brawn is needed,
More than all conscience is needed.
While the violent pretend to be gentle,
The gentle pretending violent, is needed.

Peace is not the absence of violence,
Peace is an act of controlled violence.
Controlled narcissism is a golden faculty,
To reform a society rooted in somnolence.

When all pretend gentle, I admit, I'm mental.
To the peace of intolerance, I'm damn detrimental.”
