"The day you start to accept the sweet — sweet — reality
of your existence, that is the day you will understand the
importance of peace. That day you will begin to understand
the simplicity of being alive. That day you will understand
what this is about."

- Prem Rawat

"Peace already crosses barriers; barriers that nobody can cross - barriers that nobody can cross. All the might, even of the United States Army, cannot cross those barriers. Peace does.

(Peace) just simply walks in, to the heart, from person to person to person, without judging their religion, without judging their color, without judging their preference. Nothing. Just human beings."

- Prem Rawat

   "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it." (Matthew 10:34-39 NASB)

We have all taken risks in the making of war.  Isn't it time that we should take risks to secure peace?  ~J. Ramsay MacDonald

If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.  ~Napoleon Bonaparte

We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power.  Then will our world know the blessings of peace.  ~William Ewart Gladstone

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.  ~Mother Teresa

Peace can come only as a consequence of universal enlightenment.
Nicola Tesla

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived — this is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality — not as we expect it to be, but as it is — is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there is, in just this sense, love.
Frederick Buechner
