Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.

Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm

A political victory, a rise in rents, the recovery of your sick, or return of your absent friend, or some other quite external event, raises your spirits, and you think good days are preparing for you. Do not believe it. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.from "Self-Reliance"

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding. -Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Peace has its victories, but it takes a brave man to win them.
