Thoughts on Peace
“Peace comes from within, do not seek it without.”“Do not blindly believe what others say. See for
yourself what brings contentment, clarity and peace. That is the path for you to follow.”
“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and
earnestly. There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”
“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.”
“Don’t wait for the right conditions. All you need for your growth is available to you in this moment.”
“If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of
peace work.”

- Thich Nhat Hanh

loving another person.”
