Here's a picture
and here's a thousand words:
Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace.
Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe.

Satish Kumar (Prayer for Peace) They make a wilderness and call it peace.
- Tacitus. The light has gone out of our lives and there is darkness everywhere.
-
Jawaharlal Nehru (on the assassination of Gandhi)
Pity the planet, all joy gone
from this sweet volcanic cone;
peace to our children when they fall
in small war on the heels of small war - until
the end of time
to police the earth, a ghost
orbiting forever lost
in our monotonous sublime.
-
Robert Lowell (Waking Early Sunday Morning)
It must be a peace without victory ..
only a peace between equals can last.

Langston Hughes (Children's Rhymes) What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?
-
Mahatma Gandhi (Non-Violence in Peace and War)
My country is the world and my religion is to do good.

Thomas Paine (The Rights of Man) If peace cannot be maintained with honour, it is no longer peace.

Lord John Russell But what am I?
An infant crying in the night:
An infant crying for the light:
And with no language but a cry.
