Peace does not come from destroying evil, but from building goodness.

About This Quote

The quote, “Peace does not come from destroying evil, but from building goodness,” is a reflection on how the world should be guided instead of focusing on the destruction of what is wrong. Peace comes from building one’s own positive qualities and those of others as well as caring for those around you. When people focus on the destruction of what is evil, they allow violence to flourish and do harm to those who are innocent.
