Image
We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Spiritual truth should never be sold - those who sell it injure themselves spiritually.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
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
Image
When you perceive that problems serve a purpose in your life, you will recognize that problems are opportunities in disguise.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
What we usually call human evolution is the awakening of the divine nature within us.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
My appointed work is to awaken the divine nature that is within.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
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
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.
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
....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
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
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
You're in a much better position to talk with people when they approach you than when you approach them.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
How good it is to work in the invigorating fresh air under the life-giving sun amid the inspiring beauty of nature. There are many who recognize this... How good it is to earn you livelihood by contributing constructively to the society in which you live - everyone should, of course, and in a healthy society everyone would.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
I define democracy as control by the people. Slaves are those who allow others to control their lives. Insofar as people succeed in solving their problems fairly and efficiently at a grassroots level, they retain control over their lives. Insofar as they delegate their problem solving to a higher authority, they lose control over their lives.

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 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
Real peace is more than the absence of war it is an absence of the causes of war.
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
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.
