• 28/1/2007 - Some Words of Peace.......

Posted in World Peace


"When my heart is at peace, the world is at peace."
Chinese Proverb



"If you yourself are at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world."
Thomas Merton



"If you scramble about in search of inner peace, you will lose your inner peace."
Lao Tzu



"It is no longer good enough to cry peace, we must act peace, live peace, and live in peace."
Shenandoah proverb




"If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work."
Thich Naht Hanh




If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.
Lao Tzu




"This is the way of peace: overcome evil with good, and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love."
Peace Pilgrim




"What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family."
Mother Teresa




"Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace."
Buddha




"I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed."
Dalai Lama

Thomas Merton's words usually provoke me to thoughtful reflection and/or action.

Yes Thomas Merton is verying inspiring, there are many great inspiring people out there both in the present and the past, with some thought provoking things to say if we only take the time to listen.

It always amazes me when I come across some wise words that are hundreds and sometimes thousands of years old and they are still relevant in our society and I wonder why didn't more people listen to these words that have been around for so long.

Peace be with you,
Chezza <:-)
