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.

Peace
-Scriptures "Sutra of Forty-two Section 7"
It is our duty to ensure we have a peace worth fighting for.
-Chris Bradford
"The Way of the Dragon"
True peace is not merely the absence of war; it is the presence of justice.
-Jane Addams
If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.
-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"
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"
This is peace, this is excellent, namely the calm of all impulses, the casting out of all “basis”, the extinction of craving, dispassion, stopping-nirvana.
-Scriptures " Anguttara Nikaya"
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
-Jesus Christ
Nothing is final in history. It always moves on. Peace must be built again and again.
-Thorbjørn Jagland
When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighbouring communities
-Dalai Lama Xiv "The XIV Dalai Lama"
As rivers flow into the ocean but cannot make the vast ocean overflow, so flow the streams of the sense - world into the sea of peace that is the sage.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 2.70"
