Quotations
Peace
-Lao Tzu "Lao Tzu"
Peace rules the day, where reason rules the mind.
-William Collins
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
-Virginia Woolf
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 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"
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
-William Shakespeare
Turn a deaf ear to the things that disturb your peace of mind.
-Jesus Christ
Supporting one’s parents, cherishing spouse and children and a peaceful occupation; this is the greatest blessing.
-Scriptures "Sutta Nipata 262"
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
-Kahlil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
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"
