Peace is not a result inside us from everything around us. Peace is not submissive nor passive. On the contrary, peace is an overwhelming force which comes from within us, disrespectful of everything around us, a firm coalition of spirit and soul standing against all the unrest that abounds.”
¯ C. JoyBell C.

Elevate your inside game. A negative attitude is below the horizon...a place for lonesome hearts.”
¯ T.F. Hodge, From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph Over Death and Conscious Encounters with "The Divine Presence"

Having inner peace means committing to letting go of self-criticism and self-doubt.”
¯ Sanaya Roman, Living with Joy: Keys to Personal Power and Spiritual Transformation

“When people speak of great men, they think of men like Napoleon - men of violence. Rarely do they think of peaceful men. But contrast the reception they will receive when they return home from their battles. Napoleon will arrive in pomp and in power, a man who's achieved the very summit of earthly ambition. And yet his dreams will be haunted by the oppressions of war. William Wilberforce, however, will return to his family, lay his head on his pillow and remember: the slave trade is no more.”
¯ Charles Fox

“There is no respect between the souls of two individuals if their minds can’t trust each other and there is no trust between them if their hearts can’t accept the truth of each other.”
¯ Anuj Somany

“The wise do not buy into other people’s perceptions of who they are and what they are capable of. Instead, they bypass a person’s public persona and see who they are in their highest expression. When you see actions taken with integrity, instead of words only, you will then know a soul’s worth.”
¯ Shannon L. Alder

I often find that people confuse inner peace with some sense of insensibility whenever something goes wrong. In such cases inner peace is a permit for destruction: The unyielding optimist will pretend that the forest is not burning either because he is too lazy or too afraid to go and put the fire out.”
¯ Criss Jami

“Peace of mind comes from not wanting to change others.”
¯ Gerald G. Jampolsky, Love Is Letting Go of Fear

Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.”
¯ Meister Eckhart

Peace is the number one beautiful ornament you can wear, I really believe that. They say you should always wear a smile, but I don't believe that you should "always" wear a smile, seriously, you're going to look stupid! But peace, you should always carry peace within you, its the most beautifying thing you could ever have or do. Peace makes your heart beautiful and it makes you look beautiful, too. You want to have perfect physical posture when you stand, sit, and walk, and peace is the perfect posture of the soul, really. Try perfect posture outside as well as inside. Peace creates grace and grace gives peace.”
¯ C. JoyBell C.

You were born a child of light’s wonderful secret— you return to the beauty you have always been.”
¯ Aberjhani, Visions of a Skylark Dressed in Black

peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness.
Forgiveness is letting go of the past,
and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions.”
¯ Gerald G. Jampolsky, Love Is Letting Go of Fear

“Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.”
¯ Mahatma Gandhi

Never respond to an angry person with a fiery comeback, even if he deserves it...Don't allow his anger to become your anger.”
¯ Bohdi Sanders, Warrior Wisdom: Ageless Wisdom for the Modern Warrior ..it is only momentary

peace and dignity
¡°Dignity
/ˈdignit¨¥/ noun

1. The moment you realize that the person you cared for has nothing intellectually or spiritually to offer you, but a headache.

2. The moment you realize God had greater plans for you that don¡¯t involve crying at night or sad Pinterest quotes.

3. The moment you stop comparing yourself to others because it undermines your worth, education and your parent¡¯s wisdom.

4. The moment you live your dreams, not because of what it will prove or get you, but because that is all you want to do. People¡¯s opinions don¡¯t matter.

5. The moment you realize that no one is your enemy, except yourself.

6. The moment you realize that you can have everything you want in life. However, it takes timing, the right heart, the right actions, the right passion and a willingness to risk it all. If it is not yours, it is because you really didn¡¯t want it, need it or God prevented it.

7. The moment you realize the ghost of your ancestors stood between you and the person you loved. They really don't want you mucking up the family line with someone that acts anything less than honorable.

8. The moment you realize that happiness was never about getting a person. They are only a helpmate towards achieving your life mission.

9. The moment you believe that love is not about losing or winning. It is just a few moments in time, followed by an eternity of situations to grow from.

10. The moment you realize that you were always the right person. Only ignorant people walk away in haste.¡±

“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.”
¯ Dalai Lama XIV

“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart.
...live in the question.”
¯ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“We don't realize that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme self who is eternally at peace.”
¯ Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

The best fighter is never angry.”
¯ Lao Tzu

The Art of Peace begins with you.
Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace.
Everyone has a spirit that can be refined,
a body that can be trained in some manner,
a suitable path to follow.
You are here to realize your inner divinity
and manifest your innate enlightenment.
Foster peace in your own life
and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.

We can never obtain peace in the world
if we neglect the inner world
and don't make peace with ourselves
. World peace must develop out of inner peace.

~ Dalai Lama

Compassion is not religious business,
it is human business,
it is not luxury,
it is essential for our own peace and mental stability,
it is essential for human survival.

~ Dalai Lama

The art of Peace I practice has room for each of the world's eight million gods,
and I cooperate with them all.
The God of Peace is very great
and enjoins all that is divine
and enlightened
in every land.

~ Morihei Ueshiba Quotes from The Art of Peace

In your training, do not be in a hurry
, for it takes a minimum of ten years
to master the basics and advance to the first rung.
Never think of yourself as an all-knowing, perfected master;
you must continue to train daily
with your friends and students
and progress together
in the Art of Peace.

~ Morihei Ueshiba Quotes from The Art of Peace

Reshape yourself through the power of your will...
Those who have conquered themselves...
live in peace,
alike in cold and heat,
pleasure and pain,
praise and blame..
.To such people
a clod of dirt
,a stone,
and gold are the same..
.Because they are impartial,
they rise to great heights.

~ Krishna ..The Bhagavad Gita

The Prayer of Saint Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy 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.

O 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.

Hello and have a good day!

Civilized man wanders from antiquity towards the future on the backs of his predecessors carrying his symbols with pride: the weapon, the mirror and the crown of conflict.

This started out as a photo that was over exposed. With some editing on Photoshop which included adding a second photo and some texture, this is the result.
