would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.
Mahatma Gandhi
The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes from within
the souls of men when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with
the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of
the universe dwells the Sacred, and that this center is really everywhere,
it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and the others are but
reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two
individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But
above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations
until there is first known that true peace which is within the souls of men.
Black Elk
The goal toward which all history tends is peace, not peace through the medium of war,
not peace through a process of universal intimidation, not peace through a program of
mutual impoverishment, not peace by any means that leaves the world too weak or too
frightened to go on fighting, but peace pure and simple based on that will to peace
which has animated the overwhelming majority of mankind through countless ages. This
will to peace does not arise out of a cowardly desire to preserve one's life and property,
but out of conviction that the fullest development of the highest powers of men can be
achieved only in a world of peace.

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
