Favorite quotes about human love and peace....
What is one of your favorite quotes about human love, sisterhood/brotherhood, universality of mankind, peace. This may be added at some point to the facebook page. We could the favorite songs part as well to it. It's good to be reminded of why we are here, and it's not because the world is full of angels. The world Ghandi was in was not full of angels. There is a cafe called Angel in Us.
We need to find the Angel in US, and find hope inside ourselves.
Mahatma Gandhi
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS! |

WOW,
Basil, see this page discussions will be my most favorite page. I really liked this idea of opening the discussion on Favorite quotes about human love and peace.
I often turn to quotes or aphorisms because one thing is indisputable, we turn to the quotations, even unfair, to get the source for the development and push our thinking, so that our head does not fall asleep for a long time or not to slow development of our ideas (if they require a push through the reading of certain sources).
It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. http://www.forusa.org/quotes/gandhi.html

Narine, I am happy you like this. We have to remind ourselves why we are here. We are not here for the perfect Palestinian and Israeli governments that do not exist. We are here for peace, transcending to what's positive.

Don't worry about anything. Worrying never solved anything. All it does is distort your mind.

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”
xFenderx Morrie Schwartz quotes
Here is a great song that's about love. I think it was directed from Paul McCartney to John Lennon, but talks about love between people in general. Of course, romantic love is also an important thing that teaches us so much.

'If you are sitting on the fence, you are on the wrong side of the fence!'
'The essence of culture is what comes from the heart and the essence of democracy is to listen; this is an act of respect. To transform our lives to achieve this at its full potential is an aspect of our human revolution, an inner personal battle between our lesser self and vindicating our existence in being truly human. Since all life is inextricably linked, our transformation is of value and benefit to all humanity.'

There are hundreds of tasks we feel we must accomplish in the
day, but if we do not take them one at a time and let them pass
through the day slowly and evenly,
as do the grains of sand passing through the narrow neck of
the hourglass, then we are bound to break our own physical
and mental structure.
- Ted Bergernine

Here is a song about love. Yes, it's romantic, but it can be applied to non-romantic contexts. It contains the same warmth.
What is the color of love? What do you see? Is it a picture or a painting? Is it warm? Is it tender when you think of me?

Thank you Basil!
I like this song about warmth of love.
"To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage." - Lao Tzu
Love has all the colors of the rainbow.
This is a harmony.
This is where every new day is like the first meeting and you start to know each other,
This is when you're always wondering together.
This is when are you waiting for each other, and you heat up the idea of each other and from the presence of each other.
This is where you support each other in everything and protect each other in whole,
This kind of love overcomes everything, because together you strength and inspiration to make difference, positive changes…
This is an integral part of your life which it is not divorced from the heart.
When you love everyday problems become joyful gritty for overcoming and for rising up and the beginning of something more sublime, and most importantly real love is a bright future, which promise and will promise our children.
With such love everything is possible and feasible.

Narine, that's great stuff. I like Julio Iglesias. I used to listen to him very much. Do you know the version by the singer Leo Sayer? Leo Sayer was very awesome. He sang it before Julio.
Julio, though sang an amazing called "El Amor".
Here is a blast from the past, from 1978 by John Paul Young called "Love is in the Air"
LOVE IS IN THE AIR (John Paul Young)
Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes
Love is in the air
In the whisper of the trees
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea
And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name
(Chorus)
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done
And I don't know if you're an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But you're something that I must believe in
And you're there when I reach out for you
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes
(Repeat Chorus 4X)

“Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is.”
Thomas S. Szasz quotes (Hungarian psychiatrist and Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus at State University of New York Health Science Center in Syracuse, b.1920)
Peace Quotes and Proverbs
Doc Childre and Howard Martin, HeartMath Solution
You can never get to peace and inner security without first acknowledging all of the good things in your life. If you're forever wanting and longing for more without first appreciating things the way they are, you'll stay in discord.
