Quotes

One of the fondest memories of my Granddad Nelson was trading quotes regularly over email. Sadly I lost the email archive when I went on my mission, but it has continued to be an interest of mine. I hope you enjoy my collection of quotes. A bit of everything from religion to politics to leadership.

If you want real peace in your heart and mind, learn to process and appreciate life as it is, rather than how you thought, expected, or hoped it would be.

Pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Making peace doesn't mean avoiding conflict; it means ending feelings of conflict in our minds and in our hearts so that we can feel inner peace!

The world is already so full of conflict. If we want to create more peace in the world, we have to choose not to take things personally and instead respond with understanding, compassion, connection, and peace.

A student asked to his master: You teach me fighting but you talk about peace. How do you reconcile the two?
The master replied: It's better to be warrior in garden than to be a gardener in war.

Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make, Something you do, Something you are, And something you give away.
