Quotations
Peace
Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.
-Benjamin Franklin
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
-Virginia Woolf
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
"Adagia"
Peace begins with a smile.

-Sri Chinmoy "Sri Chinmoy"
Nothing is final in history. It always moves on. Peace must be built again and again.
-Thorbjørn Jagland
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.

Peace rules the day, where reason rules the mind.
