"Peace is not the product of a victory or a command. It has no finishing line, no final deadline, no fixed definition of achievement. Peace is a never-ending process, the work of many decisions"

- Oscar Hammerstein II

About this Quote

This quote by Oscar Hammerstein II talks to the concept that peace is not something that can be attained in a single minute or through a single action. It is an ongoing procedure that needs many choices and actions to be taken control of an extended period of time. It is not something that can be won or commanded, and there is no clear definition of what it looks like when it is attained. Peace is a journey with no end, and it depends on us to decide and take the actions needed to move closer to it. It is a continuous procedure that needs commitment and commitment from all of us.
