Image
A few really dedicated people can offset the ill effects of masses of out-of-harmony people, so we who work for peace must not falter.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
As I lived up to the highest light I had, higher and higher light came to me.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Let us help the phoenix to rise from the ashes let us help lay the foundation for a new renaissance let us help to accelerate the spiritual awakening until it lifts us into the golden age which would come.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I pray without ceasing now. My personal prayer is: Make me an instrument which only truth can speak.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
We people of the world need to find ways to get to know one another - for then we will recognize that our likenesses are so much greater than our differences, however great our differences may seem. Every cell, every human being, is of equal importance and has work to do in this world
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Religion is not an end in itself. One's union with God is the ultimate goal. There are so many religions because immature people tend to emphasize trivial differences instead of important likenesses. Differences between faiths lie in creeds and rituals rather than in religious principles.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Just concentrate on thinking and living and acting in harmony with God's laws and inspiring others to do likewise.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
The motive, if you are to find inner peace, must be an outgoing motive. Service, of course-service. Giving, not getting. Your motive must be good if your work is to have good effect. The secret of life is being of service.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
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.
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
Inner peace is found by facing life squarely, solving its problems, and delving as far beneath its surface as possible to discover its verities and realities.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I shall not accept more than I need while others in the world have less than they need.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
If you know but do not do, you are a very unhappy person indeed.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
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.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
World peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life so full of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think about food.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
The sanctuary of peace dwells within. Seek it out and all things will be added to you. We're coming closer and closer to the time when enough of us will have found inner peace to affect our institutions for the better. And as soon as this happens the institutions will in turn, through example, affect for the better those who are still immature.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
When we hear a prediction of some disaster we need to throw the entire weight of our positive thought in the opposite direction!
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.
