Need a good quote on Inner Peace
« on: September 19, 2006, 11:30:18 PM »
Anyone have a good religion-neutral quotation on Inner Peace (in the "let peace begin with me" vein)?
I've been asked to come up with something for a responsive reading and a few other readings for a service and I'm blundering around the Net crosseyed and useless.

Would much appreciate any help...

thank you!

Hey hops,
I have a quote site I love... I tried to pick one for you, but there are so many... and I am not sure what you want to touch on exactly.

Here is the site: www.crystalclouds.co.uk

Love, Beth

Thank you Beth.
I will look...

It needs to be about 12-20 lines...need shorter ones too.

Thanks very much.

May You Always Feel Loved
(Author Unknown)

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand.

May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with optimism and courage.

Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there even when you feel most alone.

May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace.

May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile, be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.

Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.

Teach love to those who know hate, and let that love embrace you as you go into the world.

May the teaching of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them.

Remember, those lives you have touched and who have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.

May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time in each day to see the beauty and love in the world around you.

Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way. What you may feel you lack in one regard may be more than compensated for in another. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future.

May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.

May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgments of your accomplishments.

May you always feel loved.

A few favorite quotes:

We were talking about the love we all could share--when we find it---
To try our best to hold it there--- With love we could save the world--
If they only knew.

The beginning of wisdom is silence. The second stage is listening.

What I think I am......What I think, I am

You can’t always see the stars…but they are always there

When one is united to the core of another, empty of self, we are filled with love.

I am so small I can barely be seen,  How can this great love be inside of me?   Look at your eyes. They are small, but they see enormous things.
