Men destroy each other during war; themselves during peacetime.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Quotations
Peace
It is our duty to ensure we have a peace worth fighting for.
-Chris Bradford
"The Way of the Dragon"
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
-Deep Trivedi
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 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"
Declare it. Just the same way we declare war. That is how we will have peace... we just need to declare it.
-John Lennon
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
-Virginia Woolf
If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.
-Desmond Tutu
Happy are those who work for peace: God will call them his children!
-Jesus Christ
Peace is a conscious choice.
-John Denver
