Quotes For Peace










It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

-- Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)

The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man or one party or one nation. It must be a peace which rests on the cooperative effort of the whole world.

-- Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945)

A truly free society must not include a "peace" which oppresses us. We must learn on our own terms what peace and freedom mean together. There can be no peace if there is social injustice and suppression of human rights, because external and internal peace are inseparable. Peace.is not just the absence of mass destruction, but a positive internal and external condition in which people are free so that they can grow to their full potential.

-- Petra Karin Kelly (1947-1992)

But peace does not rest in the charters and covenants alone. It lies in the hearts and minds of all people. So let us not rest all our hopes on parchment and on paper, let us strive to build peace, a desire for peace, a willingness to work for peace in the hearts and minds of all of our people. I believe that we can. I believe the problems of human destiny are not beyond the reach of human beings.

-- John F. Kennedy (1917-1963)


You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.

-- Malcolm X (1925-1965)

We will not build a peaceful world by following a negative path. It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it. We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but on the positive affirmation of peace. We must see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody, that is far superior to the discords of war. Somehow, we must transform the dynamics of the world power struggle from the negative nuclear arms race, which no one can win, to a positive contest to harness humanity's creative genius for the purpose of making peace and prosperity a reality for all the nations of the world. In short, we must shift the arms race into a peace race. If we have a will - and determination - to mount such a peace offensive, we will unlock hitherto tightly sealed doors of hope and transform our imminent cosmic elegy into a psalm of creative fulfillment.

-- Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)


One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means.

-- Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)

If there is to be peace in the world, There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations, There must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities, There must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors, There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home, There must be peace in the heart.

-- Lao Tzu (570-490 B.C.)


All we are saying is give peace a chance.
-- John Lennon (1940-1980)

"Buddha Siddhartha Gautama"


Buddha
Siddhartha Gautama was born around 560 B.C. in northern India.





His father, Suddhodana, was a ruler of an area near the Himalayas which would be today's Nepal.



Suddhodana protected his son from the outside world and restricted him to the palace where he surrounded his son with pleasures and wealth. Gautama left his family and went looking around the country seeking wisdom. He studied the Hindu scriptures. Eventually, he gave himself up to the life of Buddhism.


This is a photograph of a Laughing Buddha. Statues of laughing Buddhas can frequently be found in many Chinese homes and businesses. This Buddha is a symbol of happiness and good luck. As you can tell by the look of this Buddha, its tummy is well-rounded. The well-rounded belly signified gold and wealth! Many believed just by rubbing its belly, gold and good luck would be theirs and their future generations to come


"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future. It transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology. It covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity." Albert Einstein

The people of Huang He Valley, China believed in the religion of Buddhism.


They believed in Buddha.

They believe in a way of life based on hope, dreams, and following their own life's path.

I really appreciate your time and patience. I also appreciate and look forward to your comments!


Please tell all of your family and friends about this moment of silence.

"A moment to still our minds, stop what we're doing to appreciate the silence and perhaps collectively breathe"

Something like that. What do you think?

Would you participate if the whole world would would pray at the same time on the same day for a minute 60 seconds of your day for world peace?

Would you be able and willing to pray at the same time with the whole world?

Imagine what positive energy it would bring to this world today? Which needs positive energy.

Well, please let me know what you think about this concept. I am working on talking to other people about this and coming up with a date to do this. Would love your participation and thoughts on this matter.
Thanks!
