-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Quotations
Peace
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"
Peace be upon him who follows the straight Path!
-Baha’u’llah "Baha’u’llah"
He who is in perfect peace suspects no man. But he who is discontented and disturbed is agitated by various suspicions; he neither has rest himself, nor does he permit others to rest.
-Jesus Christ
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"
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
-William Shakespeare
The most disadvantageous peace is better than the most just war.
-Desiderius Erasmus
"Adagia"
Peace - that was the other name for home.
-Kathleen Norris
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
-Virginia Woolf
