Peace is not something you wish for, it is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away.

About This Quote

Peace is not something you wish for, but something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away. Peace, or harmony, is not something that is granted by the universe. It is the result of decisions we make every day. If we become peaceful, we are not acting in accordance with our beliefs.

We are simply following an external force that demands peace. We must be the ones who decide to become peaceful.
