Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be achieved unless we first establish peace within our own minds.

Though the heart wear the garment of its sorrow
And be not happy like a naked star,
Yet from the thought of peace some peace we borrow,
Some rapture from the rapture felt afar.
GEORGE SANTAYANA
"Premonition", A Hermit of Carmel
The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.
GEORGE W. BUSH
2nd Inaugural Address, January 20, 2005
Peace without Justice is a low estate,--
A coward cringing to an iron Fate!
But Peace through Justice is the great ideal,--
We'll pay the price of war to make it real.
HENRY VAN DYKE
"The Price of Peace"
Peace is priceless, but not at any price.
ROBERT ELLIOTT GONZALES
Poems and Paragraphs
I devoutly believe in the reign of peace and in the gradual advent of some sort of socialistic equilibrium. The fatalistic view of the war function is to me nonsense, for I know that war-making is due to definite motives and subject to prudential checks and reasonable criticisms, just like any other form of enterprise. And when whole nations are the armies, and the science of destruction vies in intellectual refinement with the science of production, I see that war becomes absurd and impossible from its own monstrosity. Extravagant ambitions will have to be replaced by reasonable claims, and nations must make common cause against them.
WILLIAM JAMES
The Moral Equivalent of War
Peace is the bright star of the world.
EDWARD COUNSEL

Jesus this song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth?
This peace on Earth
U2
"Peace on Earth"
A peaceful man must fight
For that which peace demands,--
Freedom and faith, honor and right,
Defend with heart and hands.
HENRY VAN DYKE
"The Peaceful Warrior"
You have peace ... when you make it with yourself.
MITCH ALBOM
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Better to keep peace than to gain a victory.
IVAN PANIN
Thoughts
All true conflict should aim at peace.
HENRY WARD BEECHER
Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
One of the greatest dangers to peace lies in the economic pressure to which people find themselves subjected. One of the most practical things to be done in the world is to seek arrangements under which such pressure may be removed, so that opportunity may be renewed and hope may be revived.
CALVIN COOLIDGE
Inaugural Address, March 4, 1925
Peace is more important than all justice; and peace was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace.
MARTIN LUTHER
On Marriage
Peace is not something we work for. When we try our whole lives to build our own sphere of peace, we will always fall short. That is because peace is nothing more than a gift of God's grace. We do not earn peace, but God gives peace anyway.
PATRICK MABILOG
"Jesus promises peace, but why can't I feel it?", Christian Today, April 6, 2016
Peace ... is a morbid condition, due to a surplus of civilians, which war seeks to remedy.
CYRIL CONNOLLY
The Condemned Playground
At the heart of happiness lies peace. It is the last and the highest attainment of the soul.
HUGH BLACK
Happiness
Peace is not merely the absence of visible conflict. Only a just peace based on the inherent rights and dignity of every individual can truly be lasting.
BARACK OBAMA
Nobel Lecture, December 10, 2009
None of the abstract concepts comes closer to fulfilled utopia than that of eternal peace.
THEODOR WIESENGRUND ADORNO
Minima Moralia
Lead them beside still waters because you know how badly they need still waters.
TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
