Question

some matter needed on the quote

Answer 1

“Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war"-the line might have been written of the early military occupation of California. To put down the half hearted resistance of the Mexican-Californian forces, few in numbers, and pitifully ill-equipped, was no very brilliant feat; but to establish and maintain a military organization in that remote outpost was a brilliant feat, in which the Quartermaster Corps played a leading part. The Corps can look back with pride to the work of its early representatives on the Pacific Coast, accom­plishing their prosaic but indispensable tasks in the teeth of fantastic difficulties

A peaceful exsitence is a victory in itself and in the respect it is as great as victory as any war.

Answer 5

"Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war"
MILTON (1652)

The full quote is

peace hath her victories
No less renowned than war; new foes arise,
Threatening to bind our souls with secular chains:
Help us to save free conscience from the paw
Of hireling wolves whose gospel is their maw.

it was a poem written to Oliver Cromwell, by John Milton, who was then Lord General of the Commonweath.

Milton wrote propaganda for the English Republic in the early 1650s, including the Eikonoklastes, which attempts to justify the execution of Charles I. Having lived throught the civil war, he was appealing to Cromwell to make the most of the peace. However, not to sign a treaty with the Catholics that would allow a restoration of the monachy.

When he was caught and arrested in October 1659 he was not summarily executed: several influential people had spoken on his behalf, including the poet Andrew Marvell, a former assistant. Milton then lived in retirement, devoting himself once more to poetical work, and publishing Paradise Lost in 1667.

it was re-quoted in 1898, In the British-American Church at St Petersburge before prayers for the success of America in her contest with Spain, by Pastor Alexander Francis. "It is true that 'peace hath her victories no less renowned than war,' but she has also her disastrous defeats. Nations long in repose have grown effeminate, luxurious, debauched, have lost moral fibre and purpose; and war has restored masculine vigor of character, roused from the lethargy of self-content and thrown the nation upon God, the one source of individual and national strength."

the Times newspaper used this as the opening story to repot the American-Spanish wars.

Answer 6

In many cases through the history of the world, as it will most definitely be in our future, it is often far harder to negotiate a successful peace treaty than it is to declare war. It can often require far more courage to step up and offer to talk than it can to open fire.

Right now for instance many countries in the world have declared war on terrorism. It is far easier to do that than to go to the root of the problem, find a way to fix it and reach an agreement. Who right now would publicly favour that? Now that would take courage.

Answer 7

Without war, would peace be as sweet? Is that what you are asking?
