Image
I shall remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
We limit ourselves by thinking things can't be done. Many think peace in the world is impossible - many think that inner peace cannot be attained. It is the one who doesn't know it can't be done who does it!
Peace Pilgrim
Image
If you know but do not do, you are a very unhappy person indeed.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
The simplified life is a sanctified life, Much more calm, much less strife. Oh, what wondrous truths are unveiled- Projects succeed which had previously failed. Oh, how beautiful life can be, Beautiful simplicity.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
It is my mission as a pilgrim to act as a messenger expressing spiritual truths. It is a task which I accept joyfully, and I desire nothing in return, neither praise or glory, nor the glitter of silver and gold. I simply rejoice to be able to follow the whisperings of a Higher Will.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
The valid research for the future is on the inner side, on the spiritual side.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
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
Religion is not an end in itself. One's union with God is the ultimate goal.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
It is not through judgment that the good in people can be reached, but through love and faith.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
There is a magic formula for resolving conflicts. It is this: Have as your objective the resolving of the conflict, not the gaining of advantage. There is a magic formula for avoiding conflicts. It is this: Be concerned that you do not offend, not that you are not offended.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
We worship God, but have no faith in the workings of God's laws of love. The world awaits the living of the law of love, which will reach the divine within all human beings and transform them.
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
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
We need a Peace Department in our national government to do extensive research on peaceful ways of resolving conflicts. Then we can ask other countries to create similar departments.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
When love fills your life all limitations are gone. The medicine this sick world needs so badly is love.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
When societies are out of harmony, problems develop within the society - collective problems. Their purpose is to push the whole society toward harmony.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Although others may feel sorry for you, never feel sorry for yourself: it has a deadly effect on spiritual well-being. Recognize all problems, no matter how difficult, as opportunities for spiritual growth, and make the most of these opportunities.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
The ideal society has yet to be built - one which balances nicely collective well-being and individual well-being.
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.

What people really suffer from is immaturity. Among mature people war would not be a problem - it would be impossible.
