Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ways to Lasting Peace The peace of contentment finds its ideal in intel lectual and physical repose, the absence of discord ant factors and the harmony of life. It is the peace of a Corot landscape, of running brooks, green thickets and meadows carpeted with flowers. It would permit a happy existence to mollycoddles, as well as to the red coat bully in his boots, of whom Thackeray speaks. Its essence is peace of mind, the absence of fierce unrest and sordid, low ambition, the old peace with velvet-sandalled feet of the Japanese poet. Its symbol in animal life is appropriately found in the dove. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
