Gilbert K. ChestertonThere are two kinds of peacemakers in the modern world; and they are both, though in various ways, a nuisance.

He enrages everybody. Between the two of them they produce a hundred times more disputes and distractions than we poor pugnacious people would ever have thought of in our lives.
