Is
peace on earth an impossible dream? Before you answer,
think about what it would be like if everyone really
had a chance to have a good life. What if we lived
in a world where the rules really were fair for everyone?
What if the system was set up so that working for
a more peaceful, just and sustainable world was the
common goal that all families, communities, businesses
and nations shared? What if we taught our children
the skills they needed to get along better with others
and make the world a better place, instead of just
how to 'get ahead'? If it were easier to choose to
do the right thing, wouldn't people be more likely
to do it? Maybe peace on earth is an impossible dream,
but if we changed the rules, this world could be so
much better. So, why do we allow an unfair system
to rule us by fear? Why don't we work together to
create a better world and bring hope! -- Robert

The
biggest obstacle for creating a culture of peace is
that most people won't let themselves even think about
peace on earth. -- Robert

Peace
is an attitude and a choice we make.
For there ever to be peace on earth,
peace must become a viable option for people to choose to
work out their problems;
peace must be the accepted and preferred option.

Alan Silverstein
If
only we could have a wealth of literature and music and
art that would inspire and encourage us and show us how
wonderful peace on earth could be, perhaps we would be more
excited about working together to create a better world.
If you are a writer, artist, musician or filmmaker, and
you dream of peace on earth, please use your creativity
to help create a better world.

Imagine
a world where nations never war.
Where no more weapons are fired any more.
Imagine a world where people do what's right
And the rule of law is stronger than the rule of might.
Imagine a world where everyone has all they need.
Where kindness and compassion are taught instead of greed.
Imagine a better world...Imagine peace on earth!
Imagine a world where the global economy
is based on what's best for all earth's communities.
Where beauty and art and the media inspire
The best in all, and lift our spirits higher.
Imagine a world where science and technology
Serve only to bring out the best in humanity.
Imagine a better world...Imagine peace on earth!
Imagine
a world where no child is left behind
Where children everywhere are free to educate their minds.
Imagine a world where tolerance and diversity
Are the golden rule that guides humanity.
Imagine a world where people don't neglect
The beauty of the earth, and treat it with respect.
Imagine a better world...Imagine peace on earth!

"If
our modern world should be able to recapture this power,
the earth's natural resources and web of life would not
be irrevocably wasted within the Twentieth century…..
True democracy founded in neighborhoods and reaching over
the world become the realized heaven on earth.
And living peace, not just an interlude between wars, would
be born and would last through the ages." -- John Collier
"Our
ulterior aim is nothing less than Heaven on Earth,
-the conversion of this globe, now exhaling pestilential
vapors and possessed by unnatural climates,
into the abode of beauty and health, and the restitution
to humanity of the Divine Image,
now so long lost and forgotten." -- Charles Dana (Mar 7 1844)
“I
believe in Liberty for all men: the space to stretch their
arms and their souls, the right to breathe and the right
to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the
sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color;
thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of
beauty and love.” -- W. E. B. Du Bois
"There
hasn't been peace on earth because people can't seem to
figure out
that the real enemy is the people manipulating world events
from behind the scenes for their own selfish interests."
-- James Dye
“Nothing
that I can do will change the structure of the universe.
But maybe, by raising my voice I can help the greatest
of all causes - goodwill among men and peace on earth.”

Einstein

I
feel that faith and feminism have a deep relationship
to each other and that both are responses to the deep
human yearning for connection and for peace on earth,
and that they both have a vision of universal human
equity.

We
in this country, in this generation, are--by destiny
rather than choice--the watchmen on the walls of world
freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy
of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise
our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we
may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient
vision of peace on earth, good will toward men. That
must always be our goal, and the righteousness of
our cause must always underlie our strength. -- John
F. Kennedy
Every
year at this time, an important phrase marks the season:
peace on earth and goodwill towards men. It's so common
we sometimes forget about what it really means - that
we strive for a world without war, a society where
we respect and help our neighbors, a place where we
protect and uplift our most in need. This isn't a
phrase we should live by for one day or one month.
It's a set of values that must bond and motivate us
every day.

"There
will be peace on earth when there is peace among the world
religions."
-- Hans Küng
“I heard
the bells on Christmas Day;
their old familiar carols play,
and wild and sweet the word repeat of peace on earth, good-will
to men!”
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is
listening. Love like you've never been hurt and live
like it's heaven on Earth."
-- Mark
Twain
Most
people think of peace as a state of Nothing Bad Happening,
or Nothing Much Happening. Yet if peace is to overtake
us and make us the gift of serenity and well-being,
it will have to be the state of Something Good Happening.
-- E.B.
White
“In
each of us, there lies a divine connection to a power
more powerful than hate or violence. Today is the
day to attune to that power and use it on behalf of
peace on earth.”
-- Marianne
Williamson
