Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Peace
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"
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"
Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
-Ronald Reagan
Men destroy each other during war; themselves during peacetime.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
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"
It is my conviction that there is no way to peace - peace is the way.
-Thích Nhất Hạnh
"The Art of Power"
Peace is more of an internal settlement rather than what is visible on the external.
-Criss Jami
"Salomé: In Every Inch In Every Mile"
Declare it. Just the same way we declare war. That is how we will have peace... we just need to declare it.
-John Lennon
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
