Peace
-Scriptures "Sutta Nipata 262"
There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
-Benjamin Franklin
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"
Avoid popularity if you would have peace.
-Abraham Lincoln
Declare it. Just the same way we declare war. That is how we will have peace... we just need to declare it.
-John Lennon
To be at peace with others you must be at peace with yourself.
-E'yen A. Gardner
True peace is not merely the absence of war; it is the presence of justice.
-Jane Addams
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"
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"
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.
