About This Quote
Peace is more than the absence of war. Peace is accord. Harmony. This quote comes from a statement by Lord Alfred Milner, a prominent British politician and adviser to the British government in South Africa during the 19th century.
He was a strong advocate for the rights of black Africans to live under the rule of whites rather than having their own nation. In fact, he coined the phrase "separate development" which refers to the policy of keeping black people separate from white people -- because if blacks were allowed to live as equal citizens alongside whites, they might start fighting for their rights.
