"Extend the boundaries of the glowing kingdom of your love, gradually including your family, your neighbors, your community, your country, all countries -- all living sentient creatures."
-Paramahansa Yogananda
"Now let me suggest first that if we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and
our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective. No individual can live alone; no nation can live alone, and as long as we try, the more we are going to have war in this world. Now the judgment of God is upon us, and we must either learn to live together as brothers or we are all going to perish together as fools."
-Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love.
-Mahatma Gandhi

"There never was a good war or a bad peace."

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, bring your faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, bring your light.
Where there is sadness, bring your joy.
Divine Master, grant that I may not seek to be consoled as to console.
Grant that I may not seek to be understood, as to understand.
Lord, grant that I may not seek to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life."
-St. Francis
"Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict; alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence."
-Dorothy Thompson, U.S. foreign correspondent
"Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal."
-Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
