The very core of peace and love is imagination. All altruism springs from putting yourself in the other person's place.

How different the peace of god from that of the world! It calms the passions, preserves the purity of conscience, is inseparable from righteousness, unites us to God and strengthens us against temptations. The peace of the soul consists in an absolute resignation to the will of God.
Absolute | Conscience | God | Peace | Purity | Resignation | Righteousness | Soul | Will | Wisdom | World | God |
Government... is neither business, nor technology, nor applied science. It is the art of making men live together in peace and with reasonable happiness.

No one can get inner peace by pouncing on it, by vigorously willing to have it. Peace is a margin of power around our daily need. Peace is a consciousness of springs too deep for earthly droughts to dry up. Peace is an awareness of reserves from beyond ourselves, so that our power is not so much in us as through us.
Awareness | Consciousness | Need | Peace | Power | Wisdom | Awareness |
The thing for which we prepare and which we earnestly expect usually comes upon us. Food is prepared to be eaten; clothing is made to be worn; munitions of war are produced to be used in warfare. Just as truly, preparations made for purposes of peace help to bring about the peaceful condition for which they are prepared.

By its existence, the Peace Movement denies that governments know best; it stands for a different order of priorities: the human race comes first.

Peace is the first thing the angels sang. Peace is the mark of the sons of God. Peace is the nurse of love. Peace is the mother of unity. Peace is the rest of blessed souls. Peace is the dwelling place of eternity.
Angels | Eternity | God | Love | Mother | Peace | Rest | Unity | Wisdom | Blessed |
People are afraid to think, or they don't know how. They fail to realize that, while emotions can't be surpressed, the mind can be strengthened. All over the world people are seeking peace of mind, but there can be no peace of mind without strength of mind.
