Even when they exist, they are not always strong enough for their function of ensuring that the pyramid of Peace should have a solid base and a lofty summit. In this analysis of Peace we have seen again its beauty and its necessity, but we have also noted its instability and fragility. We conclude it by reaffirming our conviction that Peace is a duty, Peace is possible. This is the message we keep repeating, a message that makes its own the ideal of civilization, echoes the aspirations of peoples, strengthens the hope of the lowly and weak, and ennobles with justice the security of the strong. It is a message of optimism, a presage of the future.
Peace is no dream, no utopia, no illusion.
Nor is it a labor of Sisyphus. No, Peace can be prolonged and strengthened. Yes, it is. It must be. Peace, as we have already said, is a duty and is possible, but it is so only with the concourse of many and not easy conditions.
