"But while we all pray for peace, we do not always, as free citizens, support the policies that make for peace or reject those which do not. We want our own kind of peace, brought about in our own way"

About this Quote

This quote by Lester B. Pearson speaks with the concept that although we all want peace, we don't constantly support the policies that would bring it about. We typically desire peace on our own terms, and in our own method. This recommends that we are not always happy to make the essential sacrifices or compromises to accomplish peace. We might be too attached to our own ideas and beliefs to accept a various course. This quote is a reminder that peace is not always easy to attain, and that it requires us to be available to different point of views and going to make tough choices.
