PEACE
QUOTES
Selected by
Bircan ÜNVER
Peace, if it ever exists,
will not be based on
the fear of war,
but on the love of peace.
It will not be the abstaining
from an act,
but the coming of a state
of mind.
In this sense the most
insignificant writer can serve peace,
where the most powerful
tribunals can do nothing.
Julien
Benda

To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love.
In return, you will receive
untold peace and happiness.
Robert Muller

Peace is not something
you wish for;
it's something you make,
something you do,
something you are,
something you give away.
Robert Fulghum

No one is so foolish
to prefer to peace, war,
in which, instead of
sons burying their fathers,
fathers bury their sons
Croesus, King of Lydia, in Herodotus' The Persian Wars

Our physical identity
is a world of limited
thoughts, feelings and roles.
It is quite apart from
the being of inner peace and power
that is our spiritual
personality.

If in our daily life
we can smile,
if we can be peaceful
and happy,
not only we,
but everyone will profit
from it.
This is the most basic
kind of peace work.
Thich Nhat Hanh

Those for whom peace is no more than a dream are asleep
to the future.
Jack DuVall

Observe good faith and justice toward all nations.
Cultivate peace and harmony
with all.
George Washington

The peace process we
all aim for
will not necessarily
be a result of the mere
signing of a treaty or
agreement.
It must become a matter
of our everyday lives,
so that peace settles
and lasts
and becomes supported
by everybody.
We therefore have to
give peace
all the required care
and preserve it and promote
it.
King
Hassan II of Morocco
