Hi Shelly,
Great selection of quotes as always (thoughful and relevant, I love your writing).
Can I add one?
“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.”
HH the Dalai Lama
Have a great WW.
Thank you! That’s a good addition. Hope you have a peaceful day (I’m not participating in WW today)~skt
Interesting, I added a quote with my Peace Globe titled “Peace at Home” on my Christian blog.
“It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.” ~ Mother Teresa
Peace is powerful stuff!
PS Thanks for adding some link love for me.
Powerful indeed! Thanks for the great quote. You’re welcome on the link love. Always glad to oblige.~skt
