We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.
~ Joseph Roux The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.
~ Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi One path alone leads to a life of peace The path of virtue.
~ Juvenal Modern war has decimated many a country; but it has always spawned millions of bureaucrats. They fatten on shortages and thrive on trouble. Peace can never offer such opportunities for exercising petty tyrannies, using red tape to regiment the individual and making life generally unpleasant.
~ Paul Tabori, _The Natural Science of Stupidity_. (New York: ChiltonCompany, 1960), p. 104. Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing - peace is the measure.
~ George Melton Once a man has some money, peace begins to sound good to him.
~ Clint Eastwood, Movie: "A Fistful of Dollars," 1964 The deepest American dream is not the hunger for money or fame it is the dream of settling down, in peace and freedom and cooperation, in the promised land.
~ Scott Russell Sanders First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
~ Thomas a Kempis, Imitation of Christ, 1420 What a beautiful fix we are in now; peace has been declared.
~ Napoleon Bonaparte, 1802 Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none.
~ Richard M. DeVos If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.
~ Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death.
~ Buddha
