I look askance at any movement which assists in making the peacemaker among nations merely a national warrior.

Arthur Hays Sulzberger

Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.

Abraham Lincoln

The John Lewis I know is a peacemaker.

Alveda King

I look askance at any movement which assists in making the peacemaker among nations merely a national warrior.

Arthur Hays Sulzberger

Women are, in my view, natural peacemakers. As givers and nurturers of life, through their focus on human relationships and their engagement with the demanding work of raising children and protecting family life, they develop a deep sense of empathy that cuts through to underlying human realities.

Daisaku Ikeda

Americans rightly, but sometimes excessively, celebrate every person in uniform as a hero, but seldom honor the difficult and often dangerous work being done day after day by members of our diplomatic corps. Warriors capture the popular imagination more easily than peacemakers.

David Horsey

I'm not an agent from any government, even if some of you may not believe it. I'm not. I'm a peacemaker.

Feisal Abdul Rauf

My mom always said I was the peacemaker in the family. My older brother, Eric, was the leader, the creative one. I was just his puppet.

Gwen Stefani

As peacemakers, we must resist all the powers of war and destruction and proclaim that peace is the divine gift offered to all who affirm life. Resistance means saying 'No' to all the forces of death, wherever they may be.

Henri Nouwen

I think that women are peacemakers by genetics, because we are the ones who stay at home and because we are the ones who suffer with the aftermath of war.

Ingrid Betancourt

I love good and caring lawyers who are advocates, who are defenders, who are problem-solvers, and who are peacemakers.

Janet Reno

My mum was a peacemaker, and in personal things I tend to do that, because I can't deal with personal conflict. I find that horrible.

Ken Loach

If we're fighting, we call Khloe. She's our peacemaker. Kourtney keeps us down-to-earth.

Kendall Jenner

You have to build your credentials as a candidate, not just as a woman. You also have to be willing to exercise power. We've been educated to be mothers, peacemakers, but we must learn that we can't please everybody.

Madeleine M. Kunin

I want to be remembered as a poet, a peacemaker, and a philosopher who played.

Mattie Stepanek

Jesus said, 'Blessed are the peacemakers.' And I think a lot of people don't understand that there's a difference between a peace lover and a peacemaker. Everybody loves peace, but wearing jewelry around your neck and saying 'I love peace' doesn't bring it.

Mike Huckabee

We like to think of women as peacemakers, not purveyors of violence.

Nina Easton

I think my mom recognized that I liked people to be happy. I like people to get along. And I like to be a peacemaker. And I liked the church. So she was like, 'You should be a youth pastor.'

Pete Holmes

'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,' while not nearly the masterpiece proclaimed by many critics, is certainly a fascinating cross-species: a big-budget summer action fantasy with a sylvan, indie-film vibe, and a war movie that dares ask its audience to root for the peacemakers.

Richard Corliss

The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.

Richard M. Nixon

The United States is undergoing a transformation in how it relates to the rest of the world. We are becoming a nation that has no more negotiators and peacemakers, that shoots first and asks questions later.
