Quotations
Peace
It is my conviction that there is no way to peace - peace is the way.
-Thích Nhất Hạnh
"The Art of Power"
This is peace, this is excellent, namely the calm of all impulses, the casting out of all “basis”, the extinction of craving, dispassion, stopping-nirvana.
-Scriptures " Anguttara Nikaya"
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.
-Scriptures "Sutra of Forty-two Section 7"
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
-Kahlil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
-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"
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
If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.
-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
-William Shakespeare
