Peace

Peace is not what happens after the war, it is the war.¹

— Larry Seaquist

Peace is not absence of war, it is a virtue,
a state of mind,
a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.²

— Baruch Spinoza

God works with serenity.

On the surface of the ocean
there may be storm 
and the lashing of waves,

but in the heart of the deep
there is peace.³

— Morris Lichtenstein

A man of great vision
gave us the secret to
’the peace of God that passeth all understanding’
when he said, ‘The kingdom of God is within you.’

Why seek elsewhere?⁴

— Vivian May Williams
