This is the second week of Advent which is “Peace” – so for this week’s Quotable Sunday I’ve found some great quotes on ‘Peace’…enjoy!
A. J. Muste
“When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.”
Peace Pilgrim
“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Peace is not something you wish for; It’s something you make, Something you do, Something you are, And something you give away.”
Robert Fulghum
“Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.”
Unknown
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
Jimi Hendrix
“I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.”
Helen Keller
“A smile is the beginning of peace.”
Mother Teresa
Quotable Sunday is brought to you by Toni, from A Daily Dose of Toni – why don’t you join us?
great quotes, I think peace is something we all can use alot more of…
Great quotes and a great thing to share this season, and all times.

Loved this post and the quotes. I especially loved the Ghandi quote. So very true.
Thanks for sharing….
Peace, wouldn't it be wonderful if the world was at peace….
I love them all, but I am going with the simplicity of Mother Teresa.
"A smile is the beginning of peace."
Mother Teresa
Beautiful, Stacy.
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. 🙂
"All we are saying, is give peace a chance" The late great one and only John Lennon!
All are good quotes! I'm impressed by the Jimi Hendrix one.
I love all your quotes. May you have a peaceful day today! 🙂
Wow. Surprisingly, I was touched by each of these. I often find quotes corny or preachy or just off putting. No shocker that you found and shared some winners. I connected mostly with that of Robert Fulghum. Did he write the book about learning everything important in kinder. I realized this week as I was feeling bitter. Instead of waiting for better mood and circumstances, I need to create them. So then I began reading your blog. Voi-la! Much happier
Did you ever notice the world leaders who declare war never get killed in one?
good stuff 🙂
Wonderful and inspiring quotes. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Have a fantastic Sunday.
I'm singing right along with SMB,
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me….
Loved especially the quote about coping.
Excellent quotes today. Thank you.
I totally thought I was on the wrong blog today… LOVE the new layout!! Looks so nice! Happy Sunday!!
I have been using those quotes the last few weeks on my FB page. Not enough love or peace in the world!
xo, Mango
p.s. the candles are soothing.
As the past comment said, the canles are soothing!
This quote by MLK;
“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.”
Happy QS Stacy.
I love what Helen Keller said!
The first quote is perfect.
I love the winter wonderland you have going on.
Peace for a whole week is a goal of mine. I think it will happen this week 🙂
Secretia

(snickering)
When I saw this:
“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.”
I read this:
“Peace is not the absence of children, but the ability to cope with it.”
hahahahahaha
Great quotes. Sometimes it's easy to forget the value of peace.
peace on earth…i really love that MLK quote…perhaps we should all give it a try…
