Surely all believers are brothers. So make peace between your brothers, and fear Allah that mercy may be shown to you.
Islam, The Holy Qur’an, 49:11.
The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the people are safe, and the believer is the one from whom the people’s lives and wealth are safe.
Islam, Saying of the Holy Prophet (sa), Sunan Al-Nasa’I, 4995.
Hasten to make peace with one another and forgive your brethren their sins. For he who is not inclined to make peace with his brother is wicked and will be cut off, because he is the cause of dissension. Part with your ego in every way and do away with mutual grievances. Be humble like the guilty, though truth be on your side, so that you may be forgiven.
Islam, Saying of the Promised Messiah (as), Noah’s Ark, p. 21.
Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace – in peace because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord for ever, for in the Lord God you have an everlasting rock.
Judaism, The Tanakh, Isaiah 26:3.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
Christianity, The Bible, John 14:27.
Just as a deep lake is clear and still, even so, on hearing the teachings and realising them, the wise become exceedingly peaceful.
Buddhism, Dhammapada 82.
Should anyone be a victim of great anxiety, his body racked with maladies,
Beset with problems of home and family, with pleasure and pain alternating,
Wandering in all four directions without peace or rest,
Should he then contemplate the Supreme Being, peaceful shall his mind and body become.
Sikhism, Adi Granth, Sri Raga, m.5, p. 70.
Men do not mirror themselves in running water – they mirror themselves in still water. Only what is still can still the stillness of other things.
Taoism, Chuang Tzu 5.
