Waging war we understand, but...

Waging war we understand, but not waging peace, or at any rate less consciously so.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

Peace congresses often start ...

Peace congresses often start by dealing with some of the less important questions in excessive detail, so at the end there is no time to discuss the most important problems.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

But I feel convinced, and I v...

But I feel convinced, and I venture even to prophesy in this regard, that the time will come when there will also be a minister of peace in the cabinet, seated beside the ministers of war.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

A sign that a peace association is going adrift is its exclusion of other political parties, with whom it could collaborate effectively on most of the problems besetting the cause of peace.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

Pacifists should stress more and more that it is the rule of law for which they are fighting.

Always we must bear in mind that law has to be substituted for power, that care must be taken to serve the interests of law.

Propaganda is a topic of particular concern to peace associations. This is a matter of educating the population in general, and not least the voters.

We have long possessed the art of war and the science of war, which have been evolved in the minutest detail.

Waging war we understand, but not waging peace, or at any rate less consciously so.

Today's date, the eighteenth of May, should sometime become an occasion of great international celebration, for on this day ten years ago the first Peace Conference opened at The Hague.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

To read the report of a discus...

To read the report of a discussion in which arguments for and against are presented, in which a subject has been covered from different points of view, with new ideas advanced - this is far more instructive than to read a brief account of the resolution passed on the matter.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

This is the task, I think, of ...

This is the task, I think, of a letter movement. But it should be set up only in states where a significant response can be achieved, for a letter movement necessarily presupposes a strong organization.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

There is one criticism which cannot be leveled at interparliamentary conferences but which is applicable to a great extent to peace congresses: the meetings waste time.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

There are those who believe we have need of more literature, of a large international publishing house, of a great peace newspaper, or the like. I am rather skeptical about this idea.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

There are many members of parliament present here who know as well as I do that, if a man has not already been converted, it will require a great deal more than a letter of appeal to achieve conversion.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

There are in most states one or two ministers of war, one of whom is the minister of naval affairs.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

The last Hague Conference has in the meantime expressed its opinion that a body should be established which could prepare for the work involved more effectively than has hitherto proved possible.

Frederik Bajer 27 quotes

The interparliamentary conference should, in my opinion, direct its particular attention to the preparation of the next Hague Conference, the diplomatic conference, the conference of governments.
