Quotations
Peace

-Winston S. Churchill
Peace begins with a smile.

-Jesus Christ
Peace and happiness are powerful weapons against the Egos.
-Belsebuub
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"
Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.
