Peace Assembly Quotes

#1. Some people are saying there's going to be a third World War. I hope not. I really think this is a time that people can start to mend things by negotiations, dealings. We know about dealings, don't we? We have brilliant lawyers. Why don't we have brilliant lawyers standing up and working for peace? #Quote by Yoko Ono

#2. The American Negro has the great advantage of having never believed the collection of myths to which white Americans cling: that their ancestors were all freedom-loving heroes, that they were born in the greatest country the world has ever seen, or that Americans are invincible in battle and wise in peace, that Americans have always dealt honorably with Mexicans and Indians and all other neighbors or inferiors, that American men are the world's most direct and virile, that American women are pure. Negroes know far more about white Americans than that; it can almost be said, in fact, that they know about white Americans what parents - or, anyway, mothers - know about their children, and that they very often regard white Americans that way. And perhaps this attitude, held in spite of what they know and have endured, helps to explain why Negroes, on the whole, and until lately, have allowed themselves to feel so little hatred. The tendency has really been, insofar as this was possible, to dismiss white people as the slightly mad victims of their own brainwashing. #Quote by James Baldwin

#3. Let us make this world a house of love and peace.
Let us forget and forgive all hate and prejudice.
Let us break all the walls of pride and prejudice.
Let us open our door to welcome joy and peace. #Quote by Debasish Mridha

Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men! #Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

#5. You can't find your life, or your peace, in the middle of a bezillion eyes staring at you. #Quote by Carol Plum-Ucci

#6. From the rising of the sun to the setting, to its rising again, we place what is hard to endure with what is sweet to remember, and find peace. #Quote by K.A. Applegate

#8. Some international law specialists compare the invasion of Iraq to the 'crimes against the peace' for which Nazi leaders were indicted at Nuremberg. #Quote by Noam Chomsky

#10. Peace in every step. The shining red sun is my heart. Each flower smiles with me. How green, how fresh all that grows. How cool the wind blows. Peace is every step. It turns the endless path to joy. #Quote by Nhat Hanh

#11. The multifaceted nature of the strong points of the enemy in this brutal warfare calls for nothing less than a global scale collaborative response that is stubbornly radical, yet humanely civil. #Quote by Ray Anyasi

#12. Along the Merced River there's a deep sense of peace, yet it coexists with danger. No matter how sedate the river may appear, it's as wild as the other creatures of Yosemite. Strong currents run underneath the surface. If I were to jump in, the snowmelt cold would induce hypothermia within minutes and, with a little more volume, this calm-looking river would sweep me to my death. People have drowned when it's looked quiet like this, trying to wade across. Someone died here last year, and Sadie Schaeffer, who's buried in the Pioneer Cemetery, died doing that more than a hundred years ago just a short way downriver toward El Capitan. Nature doesn't stop and make exceptions for people who get in its way. #Quote by R. Mark Liebenow

#13. It's always fallen to women to forge the peace between all these hot-blooded men, always ready to go to war at the slightest provocation....Why do men behave the way they do, warring?"
"What do you think?" he asked.
"Maybe because they've got no sense of grief? #Quote by Nuruddin Farah

#14. We want to generate the electricity of peace through music, and it's a thrill to know that the super-creative, enthusiastic musicians of our world are with us to achieve this goal. #Quote by David Lynch

#15. Changing my name was meant to inspire and bring youth together all around the world, #Quote by Metta World Peace

#16. God indeed can be reached directly, for there is no distance between Him and His Son. His awareness is in everyone's memory, and His Word is written on everyone's heart. Yet this awareness and this memory can arise across the threshold of recognition only where all barriers to truth have been removed. #Quote by Foundation For Inner Peace

#17. To protect women in times of war, we must first make sure women receive equal rights in times of peace. #Quote by Martti Ahtisaari

#18. Is it security you want? There is no security at the top of the world. #Quote by Garet Garrett

#19. All American wars (except the Civil War) have been fought with the odds overwhelmingly in favor of the Americans. In the history of armed combat such affairs as the Mexican and Spanish-American Wars must be ranked, not as wars at all, but as organized assassinations. In the two World Wars, no American faced a bullet until his adversaries had been worn down by years of fighting others. #Quote by H.L. Mencken

#20. What happens with your sex energy depends on how you use it. What it can become does not depend on it alone, but on your understanding and on how you live your life. Have you not observed that it becomes brahmacharya, the state of celibacy when it is transformed? bramhacharya is not hostile to passion; brahmacharya is the purification, the transcendence, the sublimation of passion. In the same way, the energy that manifests itself in violence becomes peace, serenity and tranquility. It is only a question of transformation. #Quote by Rajneesh

#21. There are only two forces that can withstand the force of the war's spirit when it seizes upon the world. The one is the force of an independently thinking, free, and articulate democracy.

#22. The world will not know peace until we learn to understand each other's emotions #Quote by Bangambiki Habyarimana

#23. Peace requires everyone to be in the circle - wholeness, inclusion. #Quote by Isabel Allende

#24. God, for me, is more of a feeling, a feeling of peace. I think my god lives in a silence that exists inside me. It's such a delicious fucking silence, so profound. But this can also get tricky, because if I'm feeling crazy then I'm like, Where the hell is god? Has god abandoned me? Like, no peace, no god. But it's still better than some bro deity telling me I'm a piece of shit. #Quote by Melissa Broder

#25. We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we may have peace. #Quote by Aristotle.

#26. Let kindness reveal your humanity. #Quote by Jeffrey A. White

#27. The modern teachings of Christianity often preach of a peaceful, merciful, and loving God/Creator. Culturally, this concept of a God of peace is well liked and accepted amongst clergymen and the Christian community alike; however, some scriptural evidence gives us a contradictory and seemingly destructive version of our Creator. #Quote by David G. McAfee

#28. We've forgotten that chasing happiness or peace only causes it to seem further away. It's a little like wild kittens. You can chase them all day long and not catch them. But, if you sit quietly and allow them to come to you, you will tame them in time. #Quote by Simon Gray

#29. We can say without exaggeration that the present national ambition of the United States is unemployment. People live for quitting time, for weekends, for vacations, and for retirement; moreover, this ambition seems to be classless, as true in the executive suites as on the assembly lines. One works not because the work is necessary, valuable, useful to a desirable end, or because one loves to do it, but only to be able to quit - a condition that a saner time would regard as infernal, a condemnation. #Quote by Wendell Berry

#30. You will find peace and happiness if you will live the gospel. #Quote by Gordon B. Hinckley

#34. I talked to countless young people who had left the church because of the hypocrisy they perceived in followers of the Prince of Peace, the God of love, who appeared indifferent to the massive scale of suffering endured by God's created beings at the hands of humans. I #Quote by Sarah Withrow King

#35. A society without the authentic and vibrant influence of women is a society that is not fully alive. A culture lacking the vital creativity of women is disadvantaged. Without the bearing of women on world affairs, humanity's already tenuous grip on peace is made even less sure. When women are barred, whether by law, cultural prejudice, or political ideology, from developing their full potential and offering their unique gifts, it is an injustice to women themselves and to humanity as a whole. #Quote by Stephen Catanzarite

#36. I came here to escape. You know that, I told him. Why didn't you rescue me from those awful people? I hate people.
I told you they wouldn't snub you.
I only want to be left in peace.
They can't do that. It's snubs or kisses with that bunch. I guessed it would be kisses today. #Quote by D.E. Stevenson

#38. The reality of loving God is loving him like he's a Superhero who actually saved you from stuff rather than a Santa Claus who merely gave you some stuff. #Quote by Criss Jami

#39. If someone tells you that pleasure is wrong and tolerance is weakness, and that you must follow this or that dogma blindly in obedience, and if you are told this is that only right road toward the idealized good, then most likely you are dealing with a fanatic. If you are told to kill for the sake of peace, you are dealing with someone who does not understand peace or justice. If you are told to give up your free will, you are dealing with a fanatic! #Quote by Seth

#40. Trials may come - and we may not understand everything that happens to us or around us. But if we humbly, quietly trust in the Lord, He will give us guidance and strength in every challenge we face. When our only desire is to please Him, we will be blessed with a deep inner peace. #Quote by Bruce D. Porter

#41. In order to lead a meaningful life, you need to cherish others, pay attention to human values and try to cultivate inner peace. #Quote by Dalai Lama XIV

#42. Everything's got a purpose, really - you just have to look for it.
Cats are good at keeping old dogs alive.
Loss helps you reach for gain.
Death helps you celebrate life.
War helps you work for peace.
A flood makes you glad you're still standing.
And a tall boy can stop the wind so a candle of hope can burn bright. #Quote by Joan Bauer
