True peace is not merely the absence of war; it is the presence of justice.
-Jane Addams
Quotations
Peace
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
-Deep Trivedi
Mantra-exercise annuls the negative, the selfish, the sinful elements in us, and creates peace, bliss, well-being and success.
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Omkarananda"
For him who has completed the journey, for him who is sorrowless, for him who from everything is wholly free, for him who has destroyed all ties, the fever of passion exists not… He is like a pool, unsullied by mud; to such a balanced one, life’s wanderings do not arise. Calm is his mind, calm is his speech, calm is his action, who, rightly knowing, is wholly freed, perfectly peaceful and equipoised.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada"
It is important we cultivate love and compassion to all the sentient beings which is the way to to bring peace to all.
-Dalai Lama "The XIV Dalai Lama"
That which gives pleasure to one man gives pain to another. That sage who identifies himself with the imperishable Self and stands as a spectator of the mental modifications enjoys supreme peace and infinite bliss.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
-George Carlin
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
-Kahlil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
Peace impossible, war improbable.
-Rayman Aron
If an evil man comes and creates a disturbance, you should hold your peace. You must not angrily upbraid his; then he who has come to curse you will merely harm himself.
-Scriptures "Sutra of Forty-two Section 7"
