QUOTES

We live in a complex world and the motivation to use violence to solve problems needs to be seriously questioned. It is essential that we help our children perceive peaceful alternatives. We need to use these troubled times as an opportunity to create a new vision for the future.

Peace is not possible without forgiveness.

The only way children can learn the habit of forgiveness is by seeing us, their parents, forgive others and forgive ourselves.

The freedom to be at peace in our own skins - that’s what forgiveness allows. We relinquish this freedom when we hold onto anger and resentment. Enormous amounts of energy are wasted when we hold back our love, hold onto hate, and harbor acrimonious feelings. The only remedy is letting go, and being willing to forgive.

Committed individuals working toward a common goal do have the power to re-shape the world.

The most powerful force is word of mouth. By communicating, networking, and reaching out, you have the potential to make the Race to Peace a trend that spreads like a healthy virus, catching the attention of others, and igniting like fire.
