Quotes of Peace

Quotes of Peace

With all the wars and strife in the world you really have to stop and think... 'Is there any hope?' Religions today are used as stepping stones to start war, but do they really 'preach' war? This thread is for quotes only of various scriptures, quotes and statements that advocate and promote peace. If you find quotes from many religious groups advocating peace then please do put it here.

Here is one to start:

QUOTE
"Peace can prevail only when that natural inclination to fight is
superseded by self-determination to live on a loftier level. Coming unto
Jesus Christ as the 'Prince of Peace' is the pathway to peace on earth and
goodwill among men. He made a promise to us: 'Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children of God.' Jesus taught people how to
live with one another. He declared the two great commandments: first, to
'love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind,' and the second, 'to love thy neighbour as thyself.' Then He
added, 'Love your enemies, [and] bless them that curse you.'

(Russell M. Nelson, "Blessed Are the Peacemakers," Ensign, Nov. 2002, 39)

Here's another to think about:

"Once one assumes an attitude of intolerance, there is no knowing where it will take one. Intolerance, someone has said, is violence to the intellect and hatred is violence to the heart."
--Mahatma Gandhi , 1942

Quotes of Peace Beliefs Religious General

"war is bad" - George Bush.

I think thats a pretty peacful quote if I might say so myself.  George cracks me up, at least he doesn't have as stupid quotes as Cretien like
"I don't want a referendum on gay marriages becasue the majority of canadians will vote against it"  

Now thats what I call a good democracy and a sturdy government.  Canada has as bad a government as Iraq it seems.  I say assasinate him!

Peace Quotes

The strongest passions and most dangerous weaknesses of the human breast; ambition, avarice, vanity, the honorable or venal love of fame, are all in conspiracy against the desire and duty of peace
-- James Madison, ICH
