"Hope is the strongest driving force for a people. Hope which brings about change, which produces new realities, is what opens man´s road to freedom."—Oscar Arias Sánchez, 1987

As President Jimmy Carter writes in his foreword, "Many of the heroes of peace who speak to us in these pages have spoken far more vibrantly in their deeds, motivated by this spirit. As we have found inspiration in their work for peace, so may we find inspiration in their ´Words of Peace.´"

Mother Teresa, Albert Schweitzer, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Aung San Suu Kyi, Nelson Mandela, Eli Weisel, Yitzhak Rabin, and many more give significant perspectives on such themes as the Bonds of Humanity, Faith and Hope, the Tragedy of War, Violence and Nonviolence, Human Rights, Politics and Leadership, and of course, Peace.¤
