Meet the Peacemakers Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be calle d children of God. —Matthew 5:9 NIV We who work for peace must not falter. We must cont inue to pray for peace and to act for peace in whatever way we can, we must continue to s peak for peace and to live the way of peace; to inspire others, we must continue to think of peace and to know that peace is possible. —Peace Pilgrim (1908–1981), born Mildred Lisette Norman I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. Peo ple inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happin ess comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishne ss, and greed. —The 14th Dalai Lama (b. 1935) As I have said, the first thing is to be honest wit h yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself.... Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility. —Nelson Mandela (b. 1918) If there is to be peace in the world, There must be peace in the nations. If there is to be peace in the nations, There must be peace in the cities. If there is to be peace in the cities, There must be peace between neighbors. If there is to be peace between neighbors, There must be peace in the home. If there is to be peace in the home, There must be peace in the heart. —Lao Tzu (570–490 BC)
