Quotations
Peace
Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.
-Benjamin Franklin
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"
The most disadvantageous peace is better than the most just war.
-Desiderius Erasmus

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"
Success, peace and prosperity will always remain elusive as long as there is discord but where there is unity, perfect harmony prevails there and nobody would dare to attack such a place.

As rivers flow into the ocean but cannot make the vast ocean overflow, so flow the streams of the sense - world into the sea of peace that is the sage.
