Peace
-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"
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"
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"

-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
Place your hope of peace not in men but in God alone.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

There’s harmony and inner peace to be found in following a moral compass that points in the same direction, regardless of fashion or trend.
