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.

Peace
-Scriptures "Sutra of Forty-two Section 7"
Common people pray for rain, healthy children and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace.
-George R. R. Martin “GRRM” "George. R. Marti"
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
-William Shakespeare
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"
Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
-Winston S. Churchill
Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.
-Benjamin Franklin
That which gives pleasure to one man gives pain to another. That sage who identifies himself with the imperishable Self and stands as a spectator of the mental modifications enjoys supreme peace and infinite bliss.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
There’s harmony and inner peace to be found in following a moral compass that points in the same direction, regardless of fashion or trend.
-Ted Koppel "Ted Koppel"
Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.

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.
