Peace is not something you wish for, it is something you make, something you do, something you are, something you give away.
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. Peace is a daily, weekly and a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.
Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.
Peace is our gift to each other. I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary, the evil it does is permanent.
There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.
The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities, peace, no less than war, requires idealism and self-sacrifice and a righteous and dynamic faith.
This is the way of peace; Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth and hatred with love (Gandhi). Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it Can only be attained through understanding.
More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars,!- Yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of settling disputes and differences of opinion.
Without inner peace, it is impossible to have world peace. Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.
Peace like charity begins at home.
