Quotations
Peace
That which gives pleasure to one man gives pain to another. That sage who identifies himself with the imperishable Self and stands as a spectator of the mental modifications enjoys supreme peace and infinite bliss.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
-Mother Teresa
Declare it. Just the same way we declare war. That is how we will have peace... we just need to declare it.
-John Lennon
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"
Be at peace with yourself. If you are not at peace with yourself, you are at peace with nothing.
-Ron. W. Rathbun "Ron. W. Rathbun"
True peace is not merely the absence of war; it is the presence of justice.
-Jane Addams
Ah! If you only knew the peace there is in an accepted sorrow.
-Madame Guion
Happy are those who work for peace: God will call them his children!
-Jesus Christ
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"
