Quotations
Peace
Be at peace with yourself. If you are not at peace with yourself, you are at peace with nothing.
-Ron. W. Rathbun "Ron. W. Rathbun"
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 - that was the other name for home.
-Kathleen Norris
One man can not wage a war alone. Therefore if humanity stops agreeing to go to war; there will be only peace.
-Richard Kevin Hartley
Peace is a conscious choice.

When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighbouring communities
-Dalai Lama Xiv "The XIV Dalai Lama"
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"
If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.
-Desmond Tutu
I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.
-Albert Einstein
