Man derives all the joy and peace that he needs from within himself and not from sources outside himself. So the best spiritual discipline is strengthen the inward vision.
Sai BabaPeople sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
George OrwellThose who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
Winston ChurchillWhere there is charity and wisdom there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
Francis of AssisiA virtuous character is the lamp which illumines the path to peace and joy.
Sai BabaPeace can be got only through Faith, Faith is the spring of Joy. But now we see Sorrow wherever we cast our eyes. Why does this happen ? Because man has lost Faith. He has no Faith in himself. How then can he acquire Ananda ? How can a person how has not got Faith enough to live happily for a few days win the Grace of God ?
Sai BabaAt best spiritual voices help us replace madness with clarity & violence, with compassion and peace. But we will live up to the promise only if we overcome the temptation to promote our own narrow comfort and individual peace of mind. If we fail this challenge we will not get a spiritual "new age" but a spiritual dead end.
Joseph Campbell
