Quotations
Peace
Peace comes within the souls of men, when they realise their oneness with the universe, when they realise it is really everywhere… it is within each one of us.
-Black Elk "Black Elk"
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"
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"
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"
True peace is not merely the absence of war; it is the presence of justice.
-Jane Addams
May peace rule the universe; may peace rule in kingdoms and empires; in states and in the lands of the potentates; in the house of friends and may peace also rule in the house of enemies.
-Virchand Gandhi "Virchand Gandhi"
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
-Jesus Christ
Hopefully one day wars will only be fought in movies and may the best producer win.
-Stanley Victor Paskavich
"Return to Stantasyland"
If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.
-Desmond Tutu
