Peace

Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me.
Frederick Buechner

We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to LOVE... and then we return home.
Aborigine philosophy

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Mother Teresa

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.

One little person, giving all of her time to peace, makes news. Many people, giving some of their time, can make history.

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels. We shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?
Pablo Casals

This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.
Peace Pilgrim.

If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person;
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the home;
If there is harmony in the home,
There will be order in the nation;
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world!
Chinese Proverb

Peace starts with a smile
Mother Teresa

If we could read the secret history of our enemies,
we should find in each man's life
sorrow and suffering enough
to disarm all hostility.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I will fight no more forever.
Chief Joseph

Peace hath higher tests of manhood than battle ever knew
John Greenleaf Whittier

There was never a good war or a bad peace.
Benjamin Franklin

May we live in peace without weeping.
May our joy outline the lives we touch without ceasing.
And may our love fill the world, angel wings tenderly beating.
An Irish Blessing

Peace is every step. The shining red sun is my heart.
Each flower smiles with me. How green, how fresh all that grows.
How cool the wind blows. Peace is every step.
It turns the endless path to joy.
Thich Nhat Hanh

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
