Christmas Quotes of Peace 

    Christmas is not a time nor a season,
    but a state of mind.
    To cherish peace and goodwill,
    to be plenteous in mercy,
    is to have the real spirit of Christmas.


    Calvin Coolidge

************************************************************
    I heard the bells on Christmas day
    Their old familiar carols play
    And mild and sweet the words repeat,
    Of peace on earth, good will to men.


    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

************************************************************
    What is Christmas?
    It is tenderness for the past,
    courage for the present,
    hope for the future.

    It is a fervent wish
    that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal,
    and that every path may lead to peace.


    Agnes M. Pharo

Paper Cranes of Peace 

Paper Crane,
I will write peace on your wings
and you will fly all over the world.


Sadako Sasaki, age 12

Paper cranes have been a symbol of peace since the bombing of Hiroshima. Every year thousands of people around the world fold paper cranes as an expression of hope for a world at peace. These cranes promote a world where people can live without fear.

The peace crane was inspired by the Japanese tradition of folding one thousand paper cranes as a prayer for health, prosperity and good fortune.
