More quotes by Peace Pilgrim

Image
Pure love is a willingness to give, without a thought of receiving anything in return. Love can save the world from nuclear destruction. Love God: turn to God with receptiveness and responsiveness. Love your fellow human beings: turn to them with friendliness and givingness. Make yourself fit to be called a child of God by living the way of love.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
If you are not radiant with joy and friendliness, if you are not filled to overflowing with love and goodwill for all beings and all creatures and all creation, one thing is certain: you do not know God!
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Worry is useless mulling over of things we cannot change. Worry is not concern, which would motivate you to do everything possible in a situation.
Peace Pilgrim

Live according to your highest light and more light will be given.

The fear habit is very detrimental because you attract the things you fear. If we have any fear we need to get rid of it.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I walk until given shelter, fast until given food. I don't ask - it's given without asking. Aren't people good! There's a spark of good in everybody, no mater how deeply it may be buried. It's waiting to govern your life gloriously.
Peace Pilgrim

Just as a human soul that faces great difficulties also faces great opportunities for spiritual growth, so a human society that faces destruction also faces the opportunity to enter a period of renaissance. I think that, barring an accident, the wish to survive will keep us from a nuclear war.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
We should never underestimate the great power of the way of love which reaches that spark of good in the other person, always there no matter how deeply buried, and the person is disarmed.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I believe that the means you use will determine the end you receive.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
All right prayer has good effect, but if you give your whole life to the prayer you multiply its power... No one really knows the full power of prayer. Of course, there is a relationship between prayer and action. Receptive prayer result in an inner receiving, which motivates to right action.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Spiritual truth should never be sold - those who sell it injure themselves spiritually.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
You might say that science operates pragmatically and religion by divine guidance. If valid, they would reach the same conclusions but science would take a lot longer.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
No one can find inner peace except by working, not in a self- centered way, but for the whole human family.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
It isn't enough just to do right things and say right things, you must also think right things before your life can come into harmony.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Many common problems are caused by wrong attitudes. People see themselves as the center of the universe and judge everything as it relates to them. Naturally you won't be happy that way. You can only be happy when you see things in proper perspective: all human beings are of equal importance in God's sight, and have a job to do in the divine plan.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
You must give if you want to receive. Let the center of your being be one of giving, giving, giving. You can't give too much, and you will discover you cannot give without receiving.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
If you did not face problems you would just drift through life. It is through solving problems in accordance with the highest light we have that inner growth is attained.

My appointed work is to awaken the divine nature that is within.

I shall remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace.

People allow themselves to be slaves of their bad habits and society's bad habits - but they have free will, and if they wish to be free they can.
