“Peace is more important than all justice;
and peace was not made for the sake of justice,
but justice for the sake of peace.”
-Martin Luther

"For peace must be dared. It is itself the great venture, and can never be safe.
Peace is the opposite of security. To demand guarantees is to mistrust,
and this mistrust, in turn, brings forth war. To look for guarantees is to want to protect oneself.
Peace means giving oneself completely to God's commandment, wanting no security, but in faith and obedience laying the destiny of the nations in the hand of Almighty God, not trying to direct it for selfish purposes. Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won when the way leads to the cross."
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
