“The resting place of the mind is the heart. The only thing the mind hears all day is clanging bells and noise and argument, and all it wants is quietude. The only place the mind will ever find peace is inside the silence of the heart. That’s where you need to go.” — Elizabeth Gilbert
“Don’t let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.” — Dalai Lama
“I’m here to tell you that the path to peace is right there, when you want to get away.” — Pema Chodron
“When you find peace within yourself, you find a quiet joy that makes you happy to be alive.” — Peace Pilgrim
Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
Not having the urge to explain or defend yourself is real inner peace.
