Peace

If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.

Nonviolence… applies the force of love and truth as a means to transform conflict and the root causes of conflict.

One of the eternal truths is that happiness is created and developed in peace, and one of the eternal rights is the individual’s right to live.

I never again want to see the face of a starving child or hear the weeping of a mother who has lost her son to war. Peace, this is what my husband gave his life for…

Peace would no longer be an absence of war, but the unfolding of worldwide processes making for the nurture of human life.

We will have to want peace, work for it, suffer for it, and, above all, live it in our daily lives.

To me, the Beloved Community is a realistic vision of an achievable society, one in which problems and conflict exist, but are resolved peacefully and without bitterness.

Nonviolence is a lifestyle that one has to adopt, which means allowing all the love, understanding, respect, compassion, acceptance, and appreciation to emerge and dominate one’s attitude.

Send us Thy peace, O Lord, that our lives may become a divine vision, and in Thy light all darkness may vanish. Send us Thy peace, O Lord, our Father and Mother, that we, Thy children on earth, may all unite in one family.

Nonviolence is a lifestyle that one has to adopt, which means allowing all the love, understanding, respect, compassion, acceptance, and appreciation to emerge and dominate one’s attitude.

For the development of a peaceful, friendly human family of nations with a rich variety of faith and political and economic systems, each of us has the responsibility to strive towards such harmony.

O mankind! We created you from a single pair of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes, that you might know each other [not that you might despise each other].

As peacemakers we must resist resolutely all the powers of war and destruction and proclaim that peace is the divine gift offered to all who affirm life.

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.

His [Christ’s] essential teaching was the unity of mankind and the attainment of supreme human virtues through love.

We lived contentedly under the Gai Eneshah Go’ Nah, The Great Law of Peace. We were instructed to create societies based on the principles of Peace, Equity, Justice, and the Power of Good Minds.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men!

When people say “peace,” what are they talking about? They are not talking about peace itself, but a mutual relationship… There can be no peace unless there is love.
