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"
Ah! If you only knew the peace there is in an accepted sorrow.
-Madame Guion
Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace...Peace will be the last word of history.
-Pope John Paul II
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 that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
