A Quote by Martin Luther King III
If we can live a day in peace, then why couldn't we live a week in peace? If we can master a week, why not a month? If we can master a month in peace, why not a year in peace? And if we can master a year, then certainly we can master a lifetime of peace as God's highest creation.

If you are yourself at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world. Then share your peace with everyone, and everyone will be at peace.

When your attention is peaceful, when we are absolutely without any thoughts, then the peace resides.
Someone once inquired of a Far Eastern Zen master, who had a great serenity and peace about him no matter what pressures he faced, "How do you maintain that serenity and peace?"
