"A free society is a place where it's safe to be unpopular."
Adlai Stevenson
"Every day we do things, we are things, that have to do with peace. If we are aware of our lifestyle,
our way of consuming, our way of looking at things, we will know how to make peace right in the moment we are alive."
Thich Nhat Hanh
"Peace must first be developed within an individual. And I believe that love, compassion, and altruism
are the fundamental basis for peace. Once these qualities are developed within an individual, he or she is then able to create
an atmosphere of peace and harmony. This atmosphere can be expanded and extended from the individual to his family, from the
family to the community and eventually to the whole world."
The Dalai Lama
"There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace. You will find
that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden or even your
bathtub." Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
"There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it."
George
Bernard Shaw
"Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about
by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state
of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people."
Jawaharlal Nehru
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand
it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
Albert Einstein
"The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens."
Baha'ullah

"When you cease to make a contribution you begin to die."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others."
Thomas
á Kempis
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply
because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious
books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions
because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything
agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
Buddha
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, ...let us strive on to finish the
work we are in, ...to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
Abraham
Lincoln
"Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace."
The
Dalai Lama
"In order to change something, don't struggle to change the existing model. Create a new
model, and make the old one obsolete."
Buckminster Fuller
"Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man
will not himself find peace."
Albert Schweitzer

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and
day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
e. e. cummings
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world: Indeed it's the only thing
that ever has."
Margaret Mead
"It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing... You may
never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
Mahatma
Gandhi
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
Mahatma Gandhi
"Imagine there's no heaven,
it's easy if you try,
no hell below us,
above us only sky.
Imagine
all the people
living for today, aha.
You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one.
I
hope someday - you'll join us,
and the world will live as one.
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing
to kill or die for
And no religion too.
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace, aha.
You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday - you'll join
us,
and the world will live as one.
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood
of man.
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world, aha.
You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday - you'll join
us,
and the world will live as one."
