There is no way to peace; peace is the way.
Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all that they are.
We all have a responsibility for a better world order.
Our involvement for the sake of human rights, freedom, justice, peace, and the preservation of the Earth is absolutely necessary.
We do not consider ourselves better than other women and men.
There is no time left for anything but to make peacework a dimension of our every waking activity.
-- Elise Boulding
There will be no better world order without a global ethic.
What you do not wish done to yourself, do not do to others.
No one has the right physically or psychologically to torture, injure, much less kill, any other human being.
Nothing is more precious than peace. Peace is the most basic starting point for the advancement of humankind.
-- Daisaku Ikeda
No people, no state, no race (after all we are one race; the human race), no religion has the right to hate.
We should commit to a life of truthfulness. Peace is the marriage of the people and the planet, with all attendant vows.
If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.
-- Lao Tzu (570-490 B.C.)
If you want peace, work for justice.
-- Pope Paul VI (1897-1978)
The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man or one party or one nation. It must be a peace which rests on the cooperative effort of the whole world.
-- Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945)
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
-- Mother Theresa (1910-1997)

ReplyDeletePeace is not merely a distant goal that we seek but a means by which we arrive at that goal. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
ReplyDeletePeace comes from living in the moment and looking for the good in others.
Peacefulness comes from facing our fears and letting them go - trusting that
things will turn out all right. Peacefulness is also a way of approaching conflict
with others so no one is made wrong. Everyone wins because we then work to
find a peaceful solution.
