Thoughts on Peace

QUOTES ABOUT PEACE

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels. We shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds. -Anton Chekov

I believe that to meet the challenges of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for oneself, one's own family or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.
-The Dalai Lama

Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one. - John Lennon

- attributed to St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226)

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love:
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

We can make it happen! If there is peace in the heart, there will be peace in the home. If there is peace in the home, there will be peace in the community. If there is peace in the community, there will be peace in the city. If there is peace in the city, there will be peace in the nation. If there is peace in the nation, there will be peace in the world. Let there be peace, and let it begin with me.
Great lens!
Peace! :~)

Your lens is thought provoking. 911 brought fear and mistrust to our lives. How are we going to recover our trust and feeling of safety? One wonders how to bring back trust and love for mankind. Peace will come and let it begin with me.
