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.

Through violence you may murder the hater,

but you do not murder hate.

In fact, violence merely increases hate.

Returning violence for violence multiplies violence,

adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Darkness cannot drive out hate;

only love can do that.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is no longer good enough to cry peace,

we must act peace, live peace, and live in peace.

What most people need to learn in life
is how to love people and use things
instead of using people and loving things.

If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.

Inner peace can be reached
only when we practice forgiveness.
Forgiveness is the letting go of the past,
and is therefore the means
for correcting our misperceptions.

l i v i n g..f r o m..t h e..h e a r t

We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are...
Men do not really live for honors or for pay;
their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing,
the striving, the building, the living.
It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught.
It is good to get justice, but better to do it;
fun to have things but more to make them.
The happy man is he who lives the life of love,
not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself.

R. J. Baughan

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Imagine all the people living life in peace.

 You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

 I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one.

John Lennon

The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence.

Mahatma Gandhi

One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek,

 but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal.

 We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Seek not to change the world,
but choose to change your mind about the world.
What you see reflects your thinking.
And your thinking but reflects
your choice of what you want to see.

A Course in Miracles

You are given the gift of the gods;
you create your reality according to your beliefs.
Yours is the creative energy that makes the world.
There are no limitations to the self
except those you believe in.

There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is.
