I wish that every child could have growing space because I think children are a little like plants. If they grow too close together, they become thin and sickly and never obtain maximum growth. We need room to grow.

More quotes by Peace Pilgrim
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
Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you.
Peace Pilgrim
People have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves. Finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered.
Peace Pilgrim
Just concentrate on thinking and living and acting in harmony with God's laws and inspiring others to do likewise.
Peace Pilgrim
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
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
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
....If you are guided toward a faith, use it as a stepping stone to God, not as a barrier between yourself and God's other children or as a tower to hold you aloft from others. If you are not guided toward a faith (or even if you are) seek God in the silence - seek within.
Peace Pilgrim
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
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
Prayer is a concentration of positive thoughts.
Peace Pilgrim
No one can find inner peace except by working, not in a self- centered way, but for the whole human family.
Peace Pilgrim
The ideal society has yet to be built - one which balances nicely collective well-being and individual well-being.
Peace Pilgrim
To the world I may seem very poor, walking penniless and wearing or carrying in my pockets my only material possessions, but I am really very rich in blessings which no amount of money could buy - health and happiness and inner peace.
Peace Pilgrim
We are all cells in the body of humanity - all of us, all over the world. Each one has a contribution to make, and will know from within what this contribution is.
Peace Pilgrim
I have chosen the positive approach - instead of stressing the bad things which I am against, I stress the good things which I am for.
Peace Pilgrim
Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return.
Peace Pilgrim
When love fills your life all limitations are gone. The medicine this sick world needs so badly is love.
Peace Pilgrim
What people really suffer from is immaturity. Among mature people war would not be a problem - it would be impossible.
Peace Pilgrim
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.
