-Winston S. Churchill
Quotations
Peace
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
-Benjamin Franklin
Mantra-exercise annuls the negative, the selfish, the sinful elements in us, and creates peace, bliss, well-being and success.
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Omkarananda"

-Jesus Christ
A people free to choose will always choose peace.

Ah! If you only knew the peace there is in an accepted sorrow.
-Madame Guion
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 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"
It is my conviction that there is no way to peace - peace is the way.
