Each of us shines in a diagnostic way, but that doesn’t make our glazed limited illuminated. Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding.
The way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things.
The liberated man is not the one who is freed in his ideal reality, his inner truth, or his transparency. He is the man who changes spaces, who circulates, who changes sex, clothes, and habits according to fashion, rather than morality, and who changes opinions not as his conscience dictates but in response to opinion polls.
Much of the violence that humanity suffers in our times is rooted in misunderstanding at same time in the rejection of the values and identity of peculiar cultures. Tourism improves relationships between individuals and peoples. When they are smooth, smooth, and based on solidarity they constitute, as it were, an uncluttered door to peace and harmonious coexistence.
This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.
My dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people.
When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.
For it isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
There will be no justice as long as man will stand with a knife or with a gun and destroy those who are weaker than he is.
If peace is equated simply with the absence of war, it can become abject pacifism that turns the world over to the most ruthless.
I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
The question is, what are we to do in order to consolidate peace on a universal and durable foundation, and what are the essential elements of such a peace?
Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.
Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our mis-perceptions.
It's not the situation that's causing your stress, it's your thoughts, and you can change that right here and now. You can choose to be peaceful right here and now. Peace is a choice, and it has nothing to do with what other people do or think.
When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life, reminding me that I can only have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge.
The pursuit of peace resembles the building of a great cathedral. It is the work of a generation. In concept it requires a master-architect. In execution, the labors of many.
