Peace
We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. On one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. On the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To be consistent in achieving inner peace, we must perceive a world where everyone is innocent.
from Love is Letting Go of Fear, by Gerald G Jampolsky
Stop the war within yourself and you will do the world and humanity the greatest service.
Ajahn Sumanobhikku
You cannot add to the peace and good will of the world if you fail to create an atmosphere of harmony and love right where you live and work.
Thomas Dreier
All over the world people talk about prophecies. My understanding of it is, it’s the time for women to heal themselves, to support each other and then from that men are healed. Then the family is healed. And then you take it from there, and your community is healed. It’s the power of one. And it’s the women who have claimed that, after all the isolation and oppression. Women from all the different parts of the world are sharing and coming together, strengthening that seedbed of knowledge, healing, and sense of well being for the world. It’s happening all right. This is not a wish list. This is real.

I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love.
Mahatma Gandhi, from Prayer for Peace
Peace is the state where love abides and seeks to share itself.
Gandhi
