Outside ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field. I'll meet you there. (Rumi)

One can overcome the forces of negative emotions, like anger and hatred, by cultivating their counter-forces, like love and compassion. (His Holiness, the Dalai Lama)                                                                                                                   

 The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it....You may murder the hater but you do not murder hate nor establish love. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.  Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. (Martin Luther King, Jr.)                                         

There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they grow up in peace. (Kofi Anan)

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. (Mother Teresa)

 Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace. (U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States (1890-1969))

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)                                                                                                                                                                

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. (Albert  Einstein)                                            

There is no way to peace, peace is the way. (A.J. Muste)
