Peace Pilgrim quotes about
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
Most of us fall short much more by omission than by commission. While the world perishes we go our way: purposeless, passionless, day after day.
We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. On one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. On the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.
Many people profess Christianity. Very few live it-almost none. And when you live it people may think you're crazy. It has been truthfully said that the world is equally shocked by one who repudiates Christianity as by one who practices it.
A pilgrim is a wanderer with purpose.
If we fear nothing and radiate love, we can expect good things to come.
Life is a series of tests; but if you pass your tests, you look back upon them as good experiences.
There is great freedom in simplicity of living.
The price of peace is to abandon greed and replace it with giving, so that none will be spiritually injured by having more than they need while others in the world still have less than they need.
If you know but do not do, you are a very unhappy person indeed.
All of us can work for peace. We can work right where we are, right within ourselves, because the more peace we have within our own lives, the more we can reflect into the outer situation.
Few find inner peace but this is not because they try and fail, it is because they do not try. . . When your life is governed by the divine nature instead of the self-centered nature you have found inner peace.
When you have found inner peace, you are in constant contact with the source of universal energy and cannot be tired. . . You have endless energy.
Constantly through thought you are creating your inner conditions and helping to create the conditions around you. So keep your thoughts on the positive side, think about the best that could happen, think about the good things you want to happen.
