Quote of the Day

If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.

If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.

If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.

If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.

If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.


-- Lao Tzu (570-490 B.C.) --


This quote so wonderfully expresses what I believe to be true. Peace starts within each one of us... then it spreads out further and further until we have World Peace.

This is one my favorite poems and I'm so glad you reposted it. It will go into the gallery along with your peace globe.

I hope your heart has been filled with peace today.
Peace to you and yours,
Mimi
