Peace Quotes
-
I cannot think that when God sent us into the world, he had irreversibly decreed that we should be perpetually miserable in it.

Man, even now, can do wonders to animals: my cat and dog live together in my house and seem to like it. It may have been one of man's functions to restore peace to the animal world, and if he had not joined the enemy he might have succeeded in doing so to an extent now hardly imaginable.
