In a time where the world is filled with humans with no humanity, it's always important to take some time to think and grow through quotes that promote peace and love between human beings. Take some time to forget your differences and anger and read this list to refresh your mind.

1. "Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between individuals." -Mahatma Gandhi

2. "Every act of love is a work of peace no matter how small." -Mother Teresa

3. "Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding." -Albert Einstein

4. "Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence."-Henry David Thoreau

5. "Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means." -Ronald Reagan

6. "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind."-Mahatma Gandhi

7. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." -Jimi Hendrix

8. "Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it." -Thomas Jefferson

9. "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." -Martin Luther King, Jr.


10. "Love is the flower you've got to let grow." - John Lennon

11. "Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience." -Thomas Merton

12. "Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous." -George Bernard Shaw

13. "The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace." -Carlos Santana

15. "Jesus said, 'Blessed are the peacemakers.' And I think a lot of people don't understand that there's a difference between a peace lover and a peacemaker. Everybody loves peace, but wearing jewelry around your neck and saying 'I love peace' doesn't bring it." -Mike Huckabee


With a word filled with hatred on every corner and judgement deeply imbedded within our subconscious thoughts, it is our duty to reflect on our wrongdoings as humans and make peace amongst ourselves. Spread love.
