Let there be PEACE on EARTH And Let it Begin with ME.

[Luna Arjuna]

Let there be PEACE on EARTH
And Let it Begin with ME.

“The basis for peace is respecting all creatures.”

~ César Chávez

“If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.”

~ Francis of Assisi

“Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.”

~ Albert Einstein

“Compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind.
Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.”

~ Albert Schweitzer

“The natural world is the larger sacred community to which we belong. To be alienated from this community is to become destitute in all that makes us human. To damage this community is to diminish our own existence.”

~ Thomas Berry

“If you have a clean environment, you will have a healthy atmosphere. This will make you happy and your happiness will bring joy to your parents and it will affect the community, too. Then there will be peace of mind to one and all.”

~ Oren Lyons, Seneca Faithkeeper of the Turtle Clan.

Thank you for this post Luna. I will copy these quotes and post them on Facebook. They are very appropriate at this time of year when the idea of peace has been so cruely misrepresented my the mass indulgence in slaughtering so many innocent animals to celebrate the birth of someone who clearly stood for peace alongside rampant consumerism.
