What happened to the nation that never tortured? The nation that wasn't supposed to start wars of choice? The nation that respected human rights and life? A nation that from the beginning was against tyranny? Where have we gone? How did we let these people take us there? How did we let them fool us?
Molly Ivins (1944-2007)

“Peace be with you” …… Genesis
           With its origins in Genesis, Peace has been the altruistic aspiration of all generations of humanity without any regard to creed, religious, political or geographic distinction since the beginning of recorded history. The human race has repeatedly even gone to war to assert and defend their inalienable right to peace. Peace is simple—universally held as a common desire of all people regardless of nationality, ethnicity or religious beliefs.

VISIONS OF PEACE

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels,
we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.
Anton Chekhov
Russian playwright

Peace comes within the souls of men when they realize their oneness with the universe.
Black Elk
Oglala Sioux spiritual leader

When the power of love overcomes the love of power , the world will know peace.
Jimi Hendrix
American musician, guitarist, singer and songwriter

No more wars, no more bloodshed. Peace unto you. Shalom, salaam, forever.
Menachem Begin
Former prime minister of Israel and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize

INNER PEACE

If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.
Lao-tse
Chinese Philosopher, 6th Century BC

The Art of Peace is medicine for a sick world. There is evil and disorder in the world because people have forgotten that all things emanate from one source. Return to that source and leave behind all self-centered thoughts, petty desires, and anger. Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything.
Morihei Ueshiba
Japanese martial arts expert and founder of Aikido

PROACTIVE PEACE

Compassion and love are not mere luxuries. As the source of both inner and external peace, they are fundamental to the continued
survival of our species.
The Dalai Lama
Tibetan Buddhist spiritual and temporal leader and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize

Shall I tell you what acts are better than fasting, charity and prayers? Making peace between enemies are such acts;
For enmity and malice tear up the heavenly rewards by the roots.
Prayer from the Islamic tradition

Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not the silent result of violent repression Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity. It is right and it is duty.
Oscar Romero
Martyred Archbishop of El Salvador

PEACE & JUSTICE

Recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.
Preamble, Universal Declaration of Human Rights

You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom
Malcolm X
African-American nationalist and Muslim leader

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.
Mahatma Gandhi
(Mohandas K. Gandhi) Indian leader and peace activist

I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture of their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered can build up I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
American clergyman, civil rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner

BARRIERS TO PEACE

Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush; anxious for greater developments and greater wishes and so on; so that children have very little time for their parents; parents have very little time for each other; and the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world.
Mother Teresa
Albanian Christian missionary in India and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize

And so, to the end of history, murder shall breed murder,
always in the name of right and honor and peace,
until the gods are tired of blood
and create a race that can understand.
George Bernard Shaw
Irish playwright and essayist

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is
not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists,
the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war,
it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
Dwight David Eisenhower
34th president of the United States

Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words, “Too late.” There is an invisible book of life that faithfully records our vigilance or our neglect.
“The moving finger writes, and
having writ moves on…”
We still have a choice today: nonviolent coexistence or violent co-annihilation.
This may well be mankind’s last chance to choose between chaos and community.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
American clergyman, civil rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner

PEACEFUL SOLUTIONS

I am not here as a public official, but as a citizen of a troubled world who finds hope in a growing consensus that the generally accepted goals of society are peace, freedom, human rights,
environmental quality, the alleviation of suffering and the rule of law.
James Earl Carter
39th president of the United States and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize

We who know the art of prayer can change the vibration and magnetic psyche of the Earth.
We can transform the wave of destruction
into an ocean of peace through our prayer
and through our meditation.
Yogi Bhajan
Global leader in both the Sikh and interfaith communities and a master of Kundalini Yoga

Living out a witness to peace has to do with everyday choices about the work we do, the relationships we build, what part we take in politics, what we buy, how we raise our children. It is a matter of fostering relationships and structures—from personal to international—which are strong and healthy enough to contain conflict when it arises and allow its creative resolution.
Mary Lou Leavitt
American Quaker writer and peace advocate

The best way to destroy an enemy is
to make him a friend.
Abraham Lincoln
16th president of the United States

To love another person is to see the face of God.
Victor Hugo
French writer
