Quote

When you talk about peace through strength, what you're talking about is the concept of deterrence.

By silencing the mind, we can experience real peace. As long as various kinds of thoughts agitate the brain, we don't experience 100 percent peace.

But I still think it's mind over matter in the sense that if you're strong, you can combat anything.

Your Highest Self only wants you to be at peace. It does not judge, compare, or demand that you defeat anyone or be better than anyone.

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

Having a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing seems to me to be one of the most basic principles that you can adopt to contribute to individual and world peace.

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

The most destructive element in the human mind is fear. Fear creates aggressiveness.

There is no force more liberating than the knowledge that you are fighting for others.

We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.
