We receive His peace when we ask Him for it. We keep His peace by extending it to others. Those are the keys and there are no others.
I get those fleeting beautiful moments of inner peace and stillness - and then the other 23 hours and 45 minutes of the day I'm a human trying to make it through in this world.
One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.
Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.
The real and lasting victories are those of peace and not of war.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
We need a type of patriotism that recognizes the virtues of those who are opposed to us.
Unfortunately our history has abundant examples of patriotism being used to hurt those who express views in disagreement with that of the majority.
If terror groups are to be defeated it is national governments that will have to do so. In nations like India governments will have to call on the patriotism of citizens to fight the terrorists. In a nation like Pakistan the government will have to be persuaded to deal with those in their midst who are complicit.
