Peace
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 2.70"

-Dalai Lama Xiv "Dalai Lama Xiv"
True peace is not merely the absence of war; it is the presence of justice.

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.

When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighbouring communities
-Dalai Lama Xiv "The XIV Dalai Lama"
Peace begins when expectation ends.
-Sri Chinmoy

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.
