"If our modern world should be able to recapture this power, the earth's natural resources and web of life would not be irrevocably wasted within the Twentieth century….. True democracy founded in neighborhoods and reaching over the world become the realized heaven on earth. And living peace, not just an interlude between wars, would be born and would last through the ages."
-- John Collier

"Our ulterior aim is nothing less than Heaven on Earth,
-the conversion of this globe, now exhaling pestilential vapors and possessed by unnatural climates,
into the abode of beauty and health, and the restitution to humanity of the Divine Image,
now so long lost and forgotten."
-- Charles Dana (Mar 7 1844)

"There hasn't been peace on earth because people can't seem to figure out
that the real enemy is the people manipulating world events from behind the scenes for their own selfish interests."
-- James Dye

* “Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice I can help the greatest of all causes - goodwill among men and peace on earth.”
-- Albert Einstein

* May Peace Prevail On Earth!
-- Masahisa Goi

* “Give me love, give me peace on earth, give me light, give me life, keep me free from birth, give me hope, help me cope, with this heavy load, trying to, touch and reach you with, heart and soul”
-- George Harrison

* I feel that faith and feminism have a deep relationship to each other and that both are responses to the deep human yearning for connection and for peace on earth, and that they both have a vision of universal human equity.
-- Helen LaKelly Hunt

We in this country, in this generation, are--by destiny rather than choice--the watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of peace on earth, good will toward men. That must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength.
-- John F. Kennedy

* Every year at this time, an important phrase marks the season: peace on earth and goodwill towards men. It's so common we sometimes forget about what it really means - that we strive for a world without war, a society where we respect and help our neighbors, a place where we protect and uplift our most in need. This isn't a phrase we should live by for one day or one month. It's a set of values that must bond and motivate us every day.
-- Dennis Kucinich

"There will be peace on earth when there is peace among the world religions."
-- Hans Küng

“I heard the bells on Christmas Day;
their old familiar carols play,
and wild and sweet the word repeat of peace on earth, good-will to men!”
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

* Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.
-- Jill Jackson Miller

* We can help create that better world countless Dreamers have imagined, wished for, and endeavored to make come true. Every moment has brought us to this moment. We are the ones we've been waiting for to manifest our shared Peacetopian Dream...
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

Is peace on earth an impossible dream? Before you answer, think about what it would be like if everyone really had a chance to have a good life. What if we lived in a world where the rules really were fair for everyone? What if the system was set up so that working for a more peaceful, just and sustainable world was the common goal that all families, communities, businesses and nations shared? What if we taught our children the skills they needed to get along better with others and make the world a better place, instead of just how to 'get ahead'? If it were easier to choose to do the right thing, wouldn't people be more likely to do it? Maybe peace on earth is an impossible dream, but if we changed the rules, this world could be so much better. So, why do we allow an unfair system to rule us by fear? Why don't we work together to create a better world and bring hope! -- Robert Alan Silverstein

The biggest obstacle for creating a culture of peace is that most people won't let themselves even think about peace on earth. -- Robert Alan Silverstein

* We want peace on earth!
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

* Peace is an attitude and a choice we make.
For there ever to be peace on earth,
peace must become a viable option for people to choose to work out their problems;
peace must be the accepted and preferred option.

-- Robert Alan Silverstein

If only we could have a wealth of literature and music and art that would inspire and encourage us and show us how wonderful peace on earth could be, perhaps we would be more excited about working together to create a better world. If you are a writer, artist, musician or filmmaker, and you dream of peace on earth, please use your creativity to help create a better world.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

Imagine a world where nations never war.
Where no more weapons are fired any more.
Imagine a world where people do what's right
And the rule of law is stronger than the rule of might.
Imagine a world where everyone has all they need.
Where kindness and compassion are taught instead of greed.
Imagine a better world...Imagine peace on earth!

Imagine a world where the global economy
is based on what's best for all earth's communities.
Where beauty and art and the media inspire
The best in all, and lift our spirits higher.
Imagine a world where science and technology
Serve only to bring out the best in humanity.
Imagine a better world...Imagine peace on earth!

Imagine a world where no child is left behind
Where children everywhere are free to educate their minds.
Imagine a world where tolerance and diversity
Are the golden rule that guides humanity.
Imagine a world where people don't neglect
The beauty of the earth, and treat it with respect.
Imagine a better world...Imagine peace on earth!
-- Robert Alan Silverstein (Based on Pathways To Peace's "Imagine A World")


"Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt and live like it's heaven on Earth."
-- Mark Twain

Most people think of peace as a state of Nothing Bad Happening, or Nothing Much Happening. Yet if peace is to overtake us and make us the gift of serenity and well-being, it will have to be the state of Something Good Happening.
-- E.B. White

“In each of us, there lies a divine connection to a power more powerful than hate or violence. Today is the day to attune to that power and use it on behalf of peace on earth.”
-- Marianne Williamson
