What do you think of this quote?

Question

I came up with this little phrase while writing an essay for my high school government class about the War on Terror back in 2003. I think it single-handedly bagged me an A. Call me arrogant, or whatever, but I thought it was so clever, I commited it to memory.

An unjust peace that permits tranquility at the cost of one's dignity and sovereignty is not worth the blood, sweat, and tears that were spared to keep it. Such a condition is the shackles that make us slaves to the whims of others. True peace, being not only the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice and liberty, can not be granted by the mercy of one's enemies. It is borne of the hardships and sacrifices endured by those willing to fight and die for it. Such a goal is the only cause worthy of so arduous an effort, and the only reward worth so high a price.
