About This Quote

Peace is the greatest gift that anyone can give. It’s never something that can be demanded or forced, but it can be achieved by reducing the reasons for war. For example, if you are in a country where people are starving and their crops are failing, you can make peace with your neighbors to share what food you have in abundance. The only way that peace is possible is when people are willing to give up what they have in abundance rather than take it from others.
