Human Rights

Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free.


The XIVth Dalai Lama

Greatest Gifts

The ability to enjoy one's own company is one of the greatest gifts life has to offer. Learning to turn our thoughts away from all our responsibilities at the day's end and take our mind into a state of peace
and benevolence enables us to carry greater and greater loads without feeling burdened. When our inner landscape is full of beautiful thoughts, everything we do is a pleasure. Gently, we calm down chaotic situations and offer solace to troubled minds.

World of Peace

Your thoughts guide you to your destiny. If you always think the same you will always get to the same place. Think in a new way and you will be a new person. Give happiness to all and you will live in peace. Create peace in your mind and you will create a world of peace around you.

Peace

I want to live long enough see the day the people in this world put aside their differences and work hand in hand to achieve that state of acceptance of themselves and their surroundings, also known as PEACE.

The Earth Does Not Belong to Man

The Earth does not belong to man; man belongs to Earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

Chief Seattle

Grow Up in Peace

There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they grow up in peace.

Open and Grateful Heart

Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.

You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.

Indira Ghandi

A Successful Day

If I am at peace with myself. It has been a successful day.

Begin Today and Make the Difference

If each of us were to say: One person does not make the difference,

there would never be love and peace on earth.

You and I do make the difference,

begin today and make the difference.

A Million Different Ways

Our lives are made up of a million moments, spent in a million different ways.

Some spent searching for love, peace and harmony.

Others are spent surviving day to day.

But there is no greater moment than when we find that life,

with all its joys and sorrows,

is meant to be lived one day at a time.

Daily Affirmation

I am at peace with my past. I choose to release the past now. I move forward by letting go of the past. I choose to forgive myself and others. I am grateful and happy to experience new joys in life.

Peace and Mind

Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him who has all things safely in His hands.

Elisabeth Elliot

Contentment and Peace

Shadows of yesterday
have faded away
Sun has reappeared
it's a brand new day

Birds singing their song
loud and clear
Announcing to the world
a new day is here

Sun appears in the east
has begun a new quest
In the middle at noon
and then sets in the west

Wishing you contentment
and peace along the way
Good morning to you
have a nice day!

Are You Emotionally Generous?

There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life – happiness, freedom, and peace of mind – are always attained by giving them to someone else.

- Peyton Conway March

Peace

We spend most of our time and energy in a kind of horizontal thinking.
We move along the surface of things going from one quick base to another,
often with a frenzy that wears us out. We collect data, things, people, ideas,
"profound experiences," never penetrating any of them. . . .
But there are other times. There are times when we stop.
We lose ourselves in a pile of leaves or its memory.
We listen and breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.

- James Carroll

Inner Peace & Happiness

You try hard to let go... And it backfires. The more you repeat: I want to let go, the more you hang on to your fears and emotions.
Inner peace is not about forcing yourself to be what you are not.
Inner peace stems from a sense of knowing who you really are:
You have asked yourself the difficult questions.
You have listened to your own answers, deep inside. You accept them.

This is an effective way of controlling your own happiness.

Inner Peace

As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery.
We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace.
The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as
anger and attachment, fear and suspicion,
while love and compassion, a sense of universal responsibility
are the sources of peace and happiness.

- Dalai Lama

Thoughts of Love

Giving of yourself, even if it is simply sending someone else thoughts of love, hope, and peace is the easiest thing in the world to do. And you will be blessed many times over because it will make you feel so good.

Peace begins with Me

Peace begins with me
Starting over and breaking free.

Peace begins with me
Opening my eyes and beginning to see.

Peace begins with me
Curious about what I am going to be.

Peace begins with me
Knowing I no longer have to flee.

Peace begins with me
Having self dignity.

Peace begins with me
Taking on more responsibility.

Peace begins with me
Because peace is being happy.

And this is why peace begins with me!

- Richard D. Marco III
