Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love
This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love… One in harmony with God’s law of love has more strength than an army, for one need not subdue an adversary; an adversary can be transformed.
When enough of us find inner peace, our institutions will become more peaceful and there will be no more occasion for war… No one walks so safely as one who walks humbly and harmlessly with great love and faith. For such a person gets through to the good in others (and there is good in everyone), and therefore cannot be harmed. This works between individuals, it works between groups and it would work between nations if nations had the courage to try it.
Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words
Peace Pilgrim walked back and forth across the United States for nearly three decades, covering more than 25,000 miles, sharing her vision of the transformative power of non-ideological, simple love. She never told details of her life that she considered unimportant, such as her original name, age, and birthplace.
