Image
The pain and suffering that comes to us has a purpose in our lives-it is trying to teach us something. We should look for its lesson.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
When we attempt to isolate another we only isolate ourselves. We are all God's children and there are no favorites. God is revealed to all who seek God speaks to all who will listen. Be still and know God.
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
I've met a few people who had to change their jobs in order to change their lives, but I've met many more people who merely had to change their motive to service in order to change their lives.
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
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 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
If you know but do not do, you are a very unhappy person indeed.
Peace Pilgrim
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
Peace and freedom! These things shall be! How soon these things shall be - whether now or whether after great destruction and new beginnings and eons of time - is up to us!
Peace Pilgrim
Image
World peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it
Peace Pilgrim
Image
A pilgrim is a wanderer with purpose.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Think about all the good things of your life. Never think about your difficulties. Forget yourself, and concentrate on being of service as much as you can in this world, and then, having lost your lower self in a cause greater than yourself, you will find your higher self: your real self.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Evil cannot be overcome by more evil. Evil can only be overcome by good. It is the lesson of the way of love.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Be willing to face life squarely and get down beneath the surface of life where the verities and realities are to be found.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
It is not through judgment that the good in people can be reached, but through love and faith.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Never underestimate the power of a loosely knit group working for a good cause. All of us who work for peace together, all of us who pray for peace together, are a small minority, but a powerful spiritual fellowship. Our power is beyond our numbers.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Constantly through thought you are creating your inner conditions and helping to create the conditions around you. So keep your thoughts on the positive side, think about the best that could happen, think about the good things you want to happen.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Do not suppress it - that would hurt you inside. Do not express it - this would not only hurt you inside, it would cause ripples in your surroundings. What you do is transform it.
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.
