Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
There is no way to peace. Peace is the way. Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal. If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. If you see good in people, you radiate a harmonious loving energy which uplifts those around you. If you can maintain this habit,this energy will turn into a steady flow of love. We cannot change the past, but we can change our attitude toward it. Uproot guilt and plant forgiveness. Tear out arrogance and seed humility. Exchange love for hate--- thereby making the present comfortable and the future promising. Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush; anxious for 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. An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind. We look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace. The pacifists task today is to find a method of helping and healing which provides a revolutionary constructive subsitute for war. You can not shake hands with a clenched fist. I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of the way and let them have it. Maybe we should develop a crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air, explode softly and send thousands, millions of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth boxes of crayolas and we wouldn't go cheap either, not little boxes of eight. boxes of sixty-four, with sharpener built right in, with silver and gold and copper,magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose. The more we sweat in peace the less we bleed in war. Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. A warless world will come as men develop warless hearts Lord bid war's trumpet cease;
fold the whole earth in peace.Peace comes from being able to connect the best that we have,and all that we are,toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all that they are. World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just the absence of violence but the manifestation of human compassion. Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures. Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him. We do not inherit the earth from our fathers. We borrow it from our children In separateness lies the world's true misery. In compassion lies the world's true strength Peace is a gift. It is a gift we give to ourselves. And then to each other Those for whom peace is no more than a dream are asleep to the future We must be the change we wish to see Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between invividuals World peace is us...We are walking agents of the vision of peace we carry inside us
