Betty Williams
Peace in the world is everybody's business, no matter where you live or what you do.

Betty Williams
There's nothing women can't do. There's absolutely nothing we can't do. We're far stronger in a lot of ways than men. Way, way stronger than men. And that's my message to any woman I meet - that includes you - there's nothing you can't do, and you know that.
Betty Williams
I always say that non-violence is not the weapon of the weak. It is the weapon of the strong.
Betty Williams

Betty Williams
I can assure you I'm quite sane and have proof that dialog 'works.'
Betty Williams
War has traditionally been a man's work, although we know that often women were the cause of violence.
Betty Williams
I'm not sexist in any way - sexism is another form of violence, and there are many great men in this world.
Betty Williams
The voice of women has a special role and a special soul force in the struggle for a nonviolent world.
Betty Williams
The voice of women, the voice of those most closely involved in bringing forth new life, has not always been listened to when it pleaded and implored against the waste of life in war after war.
