REMEMBERING

 'When you remember me, it means that you carry something of who I am with you;    

you have a mark on your mind of who I am;             

 you summon me to your mind even though years and miles may be between  us; us;   

if we meet again, you will most certainly know me;     

even after I die, you can still see my face, hear my voice and speak to me in your heart;

As long as you keep remembering me, I will never be entirely lost; lost;         

you will give me a reason to live,                                                                                                                           

you will be my consolation when I am sad,                                                                                                                         

you will be the reason why I feel happy.'

PEACE       ‘THE POWER OF LOVE WILL REPLACE THE LOVE OF POWER.’

‘One word that brings peace is better than a thousand hollow words.’

‘Peace is the only battle worth waging.’

‘If you want to make peace, don’t talk to your friends, talk to your enemies.’

‘Peace cannot be kept by force. it can only be achieved by understanding.

‘Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be achieved through understanding.’

‘The most disadvantaged peace is better than the most just war.’

‘It is easier to lead men in combat than to restrain them and direct them towards the patient labours of peace.’

‘We long for the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power.’

‘Peace is every step.’

‘Peace is beautiful.’

‘Peace-making is a process which begins with me, but does not end there.

‘All we are saying is ‘Give peace a chance.’

‘War is never won - never mind what the history books say. Only peace can be won.’

‘Peace sounds simple - one beautiful word - but it requires everything we have, every quality, every strength, every dream, every ideal.’

‘There is no way to peace; peace is the way.’

‘The more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war.’

‘Peace is not the silence of cemeteries, not the silent revolt of violent oppression;

                               it is the generous tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.

'Peace is dynamism, peace is generosity.'

‘If only we could infuse peace with the same energy and inspiration that others have put into war.’

‘If we have no peace, it is because, we have forgotten we belong to one another.’
