What’s the best way of celebrating world peace? Besides celebrating it everyday? Think about these words of wisdom from a few honorary Urchins!
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Eleanor Roosevelt
It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
Mohandas Gandhi
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 or democracy?
John Lennon
Thanks for reminding me that it was International Peace Day.
Ghandi’s quote is my favorite.
Violence is always wrong.
A friend of mine posted on facebook, “Isn’t it interesting how war and violence have several days on the calendar but peace only has one?”
