Inner Peace Quote: Byron Katie

February 7th, 2012


“When mind meets itself with understanding,
body moves with mind without war. It’s the
end of duality. It is what is before or after.
There are two ways to sit here, one is in
heaven and one is in hell.”
– Byron Katie

Inner Peace Quote: Cicero

The beauty of the world and the orderly arrangement
of everything celestial make us confess that there is an
excellent and eternal nature, which ought to be
worshipped and admired by all mankind.

Inner Peace Quote: “Life Just Isn’t”

January 24th, 2012


Life isn’t about keeping score.  It’s not about how
many people call you and it’s not about who you’ve
dated, are dating or haven’t dated at all.  It isn’t
about who you’ve kissed, what sport you play, or which
guy or girl likes you.  It’s not about your shoes or
your hair or the color of your skin or where you live
or go to school. In fact, it’s not about grades, money,
clothes or colleges that accept you or not.  Life isn’t
about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone,
and it’s not about how accepted or not accepted you are.
Life just isn’t about that.

But life is about who you love and who you hurt.  It’s
about how you feel about yourself.  It’s about trust,
happiness and compassion. It’s about sticking up for
your friends and replacing inner hate with love.  Life
is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and
building confidence.  It’s about what you say and what
you mean. It’s about seeing people for who they are
and not what they have. Most of all, it is about
choosing to use your life to touch someone else’s in
a way that could never have been achieved otherwise.
These choices are what life’s about.

Inner Peace Quote: Samuel Ullman

Nobody grows old by living a number of years.
People grow old when they desert their ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up
enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Inner Peace Quote: Marilyn Ferguson

January 2nd, 2012


No one can persuade another to change. Each
of us guards a gate of change that can only be
opened from the inside.  We cannot open
the gate of another, either by argument
or by emotional appeal.

Inner Peace Quote – Peace for JFK’s Birthday

May 27th, 2011

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process,
gradually changing opinions,
slowly eroding old barriers,
quietly building new structures.
And however un-dramatic the pursuit of peace,
the pursuit must go on.

~John F. Kennedy
