What stays with you longest and deepest? Of curious panics, of hard-fought engagements or sieges tremendous what deepest remains? - Walt Whitman
Nor is it always in the most distinguished achievements that men's virtues or vices may be best discovered: but very often an action of small note, a short saying, or a jest, shall distinguish a person's real character more than the greatest sieges, or the most important battle. - Plutarch
It is not, in the long run, the battles and sieges that signify, but the permanent effect on the human race of the changes they help to bring about. - John Baddeley
The voices of peace can’t be silenced by bombs, shootings, sieges, brutality and barbarism. Despite the challenges we face as peace-makers in a troubled region, all we want is peace and our campaign #WeWantPeace continues. - Widad Akreyi
