- Living apart and at peace with myself, I came to realize more vividly the meaning of the doctrine of acceptance. To refrain from giving advice, to refrain from meddling in the affairs of others, to refrain, even though the motives be the highest, from tampering with another's way of life - so simple, yet so difficult for an active spirit. Hands off!
- Henry Miller (1891 - 1980)
- Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined.
- Johnny Carson (1925 - 2005)
- In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;

- Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing - peace is the measure.
- George Melton
- First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.

- War is not its own end, except in some catastrophic slide into absolute damnation. It's peace that's wanted. Some better peace than the one you started with.

- Learning to ignore things is one of the great paths to inner peace.
- Robert J. Sawyer (1960 - ), "Calculating God", 2000
