- Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today, at home and around the world!
- John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963), Inaugural Address, 1961

Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.

- Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
- If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else.
- Marvin Gaye
- Words were never invented to fully explain the peaceful aura that surrounds us when we are in communion with minds of the same thoughts.

- When we are capable of living in the moment free from the tyranny of "shoulds," free from the nagging sensation that this moment isn't right, we will have peaceful hearts.
