quotations about peace
My prayer is simple my dear one, my dear one. May you never need understand. My prayer is for peacetime, my child, my child. Live it well and this life can be grand.

Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.

Even in great wars--in Vietnam or in today's Middle East as we battle extremists--weapons are never enough, nor are the billions of dollars being spent. Winning "hearts and minds" is key because that is essential to social cohesion, to finding a common direction, to keeping the peace. Peace, in fact, depends on love. And if war is "hard power" at work, then it should be clear that love is harder still.

Sweet is the rest and deep the bliss of him who has freed his heart from its lusts and hatreds and dark desires; and he who, without any shadow of bitterness or selfishness resting upon him, and looking out upon the world with boundless compassion and love, can breathe in his inmost heart, the blessing: Peace unto all living things.
JAMES ALLEN
Byways of Blessedness
The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Christ, some of the other great Jewish teachers, Buddha, all preached it. Their followers forgot it. What is the trouble between capital and labor, what is the trouble in many of our communities, but rather a universal forgetting that this teaching is one of our first obligations.
