Quotes of Peace
Quotes of Peace
With all the wars and strife in the world you really have to stop and think... 'Is there any hope?' Religions today are used as stepping stones to start war, but do they really 'preach' war? This thread is for quotes only of various scriptures, quotes and statements that advocate and promote peace. If you find quotes from many religious groups advocating peace then please do put it here.
Here is one to start:
| QUOTE |
| "Peace can prevail only when that natural inclination to fight is superseded by self-determination to live on a loftier level. Coming unto Jesus Christ as the 'Prince of Peace' is the pathway to peace on earth and goodwill among men. He made a promise to us: 'Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.' Jesus taught people how to live with one another. He declared the two great commandments: first, to 'love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind,' and the second, 'to love thy neighbour as thyself.' Then He added, 'Love your enemies, [and] bless them that curse you.' |
(Russell M. Nelson, "Blessed Are the Peacemakers," Ensign, Nov. 2002, 39)

"war is bad" - George Bush.
I think thats a pretty peacful quote if I might say so myself. George cracks me up, at least he doesn't have as stupid quotes as Cretien like
"I don't want a referendum on gay marriages becasue the majority of canadians will vote against it"
Now thats what I call a good democracy and a sturdy government. Canada has as bad a government as Iraq it seems. I say assasinate him!

Peace Quotes
The strongest passions and most dangerous weaknesses of the human breast; ambition, avarice, vanity, the honorable or venal love of fame, are all in conspiracy against the desire and duty of peace
