Pursuing Peace

pursuing peace Is there not something that we all seek - something that defines, separates, yet unites us? I believe that this is the pursuit for inner peace. There are an infinite number of individual paths to this one destination. This is mine. Peace requires the simple but powerful recognition that what we have in common as human beings is more important and crucial than what divides us. Robert Sargent Shriver "Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy "Peace is costly but it is worth the expense." - African Proverb "I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace." - Helen Keller "Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal." - Martin Luther King, Jr. "It is more difficult to organize a peace than to win a war; but the fruits of victory will be lost if the peace is not organized." Aristotle "Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous." - George Bernard Shaw "If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace." - John Lennon "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." Ralph Waldo Emerson
