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.
The most disadvantageous peace is better than the most just war.
-Desiderius Erasmus
"Adagia"
If there is to be peace in the world, there must be peace in the heart.
I care about your happiness just as you care about mine. I could not be at peace if you were not.
-Khalil Gibran
Ah! If you only knew the peace there is in an accepted sorrow.
-Madame Guion
Supporting one’s parents, cherishing spouse and children and a peaceful occupation; this is the greatest blessing.
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
-Benjamin Franklin
World peace can blossom throughout the length and breadth of the world only when the world-peace-dreamers, world-peace-lovers and world-peace-servers desperately, sleeplessly and breathlessly long for the full manifestation of peace here on earth.
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
We can never obtain peace in the world, if we neglect the inner world and don’t make peace with ourselves. World peace must develop out of inner peace.
