If there is light in the soul,
   there will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
   there will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
   there will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
   there will be peace in the world.

Chinese Proverb

If you learn from your suffering, and really come to understand the lesson you were taught, you might be able to help someone else who's now in the phase you may have just completed. Maybe that's what it's all about after all.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Mark Twain

The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realise their relationship, their one-ness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realise… that the centre of the universe is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace.

Black Elk (Oglala Sioux)

We need not change anything in our life to become spiritual, but we must change our attitude to life.

Dr Annie Besant

It's not the earthquake
That controls the advent of a different life
But storms of generosity
And visions of incandescent souls.

Boris Pasternak

Peace is not just the mere absence of violence or disturbance.
It's when there is a possibility of conflict, but you deliberately avoid violence and adopt methods to solve the problem through peaceful means. That is real peace.

Perfect kindness acts without thinking of kindness.

Love alone can unite living beings so as to complete and fulfill them …
For it alone joins them by what is deepest in themselves.
All we need is to imagine our ability to love developing until it embraces the totality of men and of the earth.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy.
I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold, service was joy. 

 I know of no great men except those who have rendered great service to the human race.
 
Voltaire

Man needs to realise the unity of mankind, which means brotherhood translated into justice in this dealings, harmony in his thoughts and feelings, and co-operation in action.

N. Sri Ram

Please take care of our forests: they are busy saving the world.

Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness.
Forgiveness is the letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions.

Gerald G. Jampolsky

The impossible is possible when people align with you.
When you do things with people, not against them, the amazing resources of the Higher Self within are mobilised.

Gita Bellint

If I can stop one heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one life the aching
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again
I shall not live in vain.

Emily Dickinson

Remember that the sin and shame of the world are your sin and shame for you are part of it. The soiled garment you shrink from touching may have been yours yesterday, may be yours tomorrow. Therefore be wary lest too soon you fancy yourself as something apart from the mass.

Mabel Collins

Love is a form of seeing.

Annie Besant
