Raising Funds

Let us more and more insist on raising funds
of love,
of kindness,
of understanding,
of peace.

- Mother Teresa

Choose

Choose
The single clenched fist lifted and ready,
Or the open hand held out and waiting.
Choose: For we meet by one or the other.

- Carl Sandburg

Peace

Peace,
to have meaning for many who have only known suffering
in both peace and war,
must be translated into bread or rice, shelter, health and education,
as well as freedom and human dignity.

- Ralph Johnson Bunche

Soldiers For Peace

The soldier above all others prays for peace,
for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear
the deepest wounds and scars of war.

- Douglas Macarthur

Rest

Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.

- Ovid

Notion of Peace

Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country.

Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free.

- The XIVth Dalai Lama
