The World and Peace
“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”― Siddhārtha Gautama (Buddah)
“When you do the right thing, you get the feeling of peace and serenity associated with it. Do it again and again.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
“Learning to distance yourself from all the negativity is one of the greatest lessons to achieve inner peace.”― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
“We don't realize that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme self who is eternally at peace.” ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
"Here I am at sixty-five, still seeking for peace." — H. G. Wells
“Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions.” ― Gerald G. Jampolsky, Love Is Letting Go of Fear
“Peace of mind comes from not wanting to change others.” ― Gerald G. Jampolsky, Love Is Letting Go of Fear
“There is no such thing as inner peace. There is only nervousness and death.” ― Fran Lebowitz, Metropolitan Life
“The quickest way to experiencing the peace inside, is to learn to recognize when I am not at peace.” ― Jim McDonald

"I could go to plenty of books and plenty of great literary works that basically say the same thing: 'If you want peace, don’t think too hard.' The difference between that kind of peace and Christ’s kind of peace is the world’s peace comes from closing your eyes to the truth; Christian peace comes from opening your eyes to the truth. Christian peace arises from greater awareness of your true condition." —Tim Keller
