“He that ruleth his own spirit is better than he that taketh a city.”

“He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, he who rules his [own] spirit than he who takes a city.”

-Proverbs 16:32(NKJV)

Working, Striving towards a more Peaceful World

A blog  just sharing some thoughts on the pursuit of/towards a slightly more peaceful world. Crazy!

Dream on, c…

 

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”

– Walt Disney

 

 

“The difference between the impossible and possible is merely a measure of man’s (person’s) determination and persistence.”
from http://www.grandprixchampion.wordpress.com

A short prayer: “Let me be a channel for Your peace, a window for Your Light to shine through to everyone I meet.”

“Lord

Let me be a channel for Your peace, a window for Your Light to shine through to everyone I meet.”

”

 

“Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love;..”

“Lord,

Help me to do the most good for the greatest amount of people.

Thank you”

“not so Mr goody goody two shoes”

“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.”
– St. Francis of Assisi (13th century)

(Thanks for sharing those beautiful words with me, dearest mom…even though I didn’t understand them then. Your spirit of acceptance and love lives on… forever)

“Let each one of us build bridges rather than barriers, openness rather than walls. Let us look at distant horizons together in a spirit of acceptance, helpfulness, co-operation and peace. Let our leaders look at the future with a vision – to see things not as they are, but what they could one day become.”
– craig

“When the world is filled with love, people’s hearts are overflowing with hope.”

“God needs human beings working ‘in partnership’ to do amazing things – like making peace become a reality, one day…perhaps.”
