Quotations
Peace
Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
-Winston S. Churchill
Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace.
-Eugene O'Neill

If an evil man comes and creates a disturbance, you should hold your peace. You must not angrily upbraid his; then he who has come to curse you will merely harm himself.
-Scriptures "Sutra of Forty-two Section 7"
He who is in perfect peace suspects no man. But he who is discontented and disturbed is agitated by various suspicions; he neither has rest himself, nor does he permit others to rest.
-Jesus Christ
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"
Common people pray for rain, healthy children and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace.
-George R. R. Martin “GRRM” "George. R. Marti"
Supporting one’s parents, cherishing spouse and children and a peaceful occupation; this is the greatest blessing.
-Scriptures "Sutta Nipata 262"
You can blow the world to pieces, but you can't blow the world to peace.
-Dennis Kucinich
