Peace

Staying away from news channels, print, and social media makes one realize, that the world actually is a beautiful place to live.

A dove carries peace on its wings.

It is wrong to try to avoid the struggle against imperialism under the pretext that independence and revolution are important, but that peace is still more precious.

We must join with the tens of millions all over the world who see in peace our most sacred responsibility.

I am no Patriot for I try to breathe in with the steadfast belief that my country is the Earth and my religion is Humanism.

There's a place between passivity and violence. I'll meet you there.

I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... Peace and tranquillity will return again.

We can say 'Peace on Earth.' We can sing about it preach about it or pray about it but if we have not internalized the mythology to make it happen inside us then it will not be.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

We can bring heaven on the earth when we have compassion for all living beings.

There’s calm in the mind of the humble. An unmistakable peace of not having to prove anything to anyone.

Some might complain that nuclear disarmament is little more than a dream. But that ignores the very tangible benefits disarmament would bring for all humankind.

Out yonder they may curse, revile, and torture one another, defile all the human instincts, make a shambles of creation (if it were in their power), but here, no, here, it is unthinkable, here there is abiding peace, the peace of God, and the serene security created by a handful of good neighbors living at one with the creature world.

Appreciations promote inner peace.

. . . Breathing slowly and rubbing his palm against his chest as if to soothe his heart.
