Quotes about peace
‘Without first developing inner peace, outer peace is impossible.’ Ven. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
"All we are saying is give peace a chance." John Lennon
Kate McKenzie, the Peace Room:
‘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 neighbours.
If there is to be peace among neighbours
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home
There must be peace in the heart.
Spirit of Peace
Jane Ozanne of Spirit of Peace writes: ‘Spirit of Peace was set up in 2008, and is a rapidly developing UK based charity, with a heartfelt vision to foster greater peace and equality in our global society. We work with renowned international peace partners, towards the creation of a culture of nonviolence and peace. The main thrust of our peace work is in the UK, with a special focus on peace in The Middle East. Our work is people-centred and heart-centred, recognising that, in the words of Mahatma Gandhi: ‘We must be the change we wish to see in the world’. This is a challenging prospect, but every step we take towards peace is significant, however small. Many people, on experiencing our work and events, describe these as transformational and life-changing. Work includes restoring hope that peace is possible, through visits from our international partners and supporting the work of international peace-builders to bring about nonviolent solutions in areas of conflict, especially the Middle East and raising public awareness of positive initiatives. http://www.spiritofpeace.co.uk/
