advise them to extract the honey of every sect."

"That which offends you only weakens you.

Being offended creates the same destructive energy

that offended you in the first place-

so transcend your ego and stay in peace."

~Wayne Dyer (1940-2015)

“If there is righteousness in the heart,

there will be beauty in the character.

If there is beauty in the character,

there will be harmony in the home.

If there is harmony in the home,

there will be order in the nations.

When there is order in the nations,

there will peace in the world.”

~Confucius

“Peace by persuasion has a pleasant sound,

but I think we should not be able to work it.

We should have to tame the human race first,

and history seems to show that that cannot be done.”

~Mark Twain

“Remember your humanity, and forget the rest.”

~Bertrand Russell

"Compassion isn't about solutions.

It's about giving all the love that you've got.”

“Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace,

to teach peace, to live peace...

Peace will be the last word of history.”

~John Paul II

"If you start out looking at somebody,

wondering whether they're good or bad,

I think you're starting out in the wrong direction.

I think we're all good and we're all bad."

~Willie Nelson (b.1933)

“Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.”

~Amelia Earhart

“Watch any plant or animal

and let it teach you acceptance of what is,

surrender to the Now.

Let it teach you Being.

Let it teach you integrity —

which means to be one, to be yourself, to be real.

Let it teach you how to live

and how to die, and how not to make living

and dying into a problem.”

― Eckhart Tolle
