Quotations
Peace
Avoid popularity if you would have peace.
-Abraham Lincoln
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"
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
-George Carlin
It is our duty to ensure we have a peace worth fighting for.
-Chris Bradford
"The Way of the Dragon"
You can blow the world to pieces, but you can't blow the world to peace.

May peace rule the universe; may peace rule in kingdoms and empires; in states and in the lands of the potentates; in the house of friends and may peace also rule in the house of enemies.
-Virchand Gandhi "Virchand Gandhi"
Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace.
-Eugene O'Neill
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"
Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.
-Benjamin Franklin
