I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph, and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.

First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.

Violence is not the answer. Terrorism is the most dangerous of answers.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease,Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;Ring out the thousand wars of old,Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Even today we raise our hand against our brother... We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.

My position has always been, along with many other people, that any differences be resolved in a nonviolent way.

Good is positive. Evil is merely privative, not absolute: it is like cold, which is the privation of heat. All evil is so much death or nonentity. Benevolence is absolute and real. So much benevolence as a man hath, so much life hath he.

Observe good faith and justice towards all Nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it?

When we have peace in our hearts, we also have love in our hearts and good will toward all men.

There is a force of love present everywhere and it can be trusted to bring your own life into order and peace.

I came here searching for something, Dad. I didn't find what I'd expected, but I found what I needed: peace. I needed peace.

If anything, we older people yearn for a peaceful world even more than young people do. We are the ones who lost friends or relatives in some war. We are the ones who have lived a lifetime of seeing and reading about human suffering.
