A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
-William Shakespeare
Quotations
Peace
World peace can blossom throughout the length and breadth of the world only when the world-peace-dreamers, world-peace-lovers and world-peace-servers desperately, sleeplessly and breathlessly long for the full manifestation of peace here on earth.
-Sri Chinmoy "Sri Chinmoy"
Peace is a conscious choice.
-John Denver
Peace impossible, war improbable.
-Rayman Aron
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
If there is to be peace in the world, there must be peace in the heart.
-Lao Tzu "Lao Tzu"
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
-Benjamin Franklin
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"
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.
-Scriptures " Anguttara Nikaya"
