"Peace begins with a smile" - Mother Teresa
"Peace is liberty in tranquillity" - Cicero
"A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser" - Shakespeare
"Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it" - Thomas Jefferson
"Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The pursuit of peace and progress cannot end in a few years in either victory or defeat. The pursuit of peace and progress, with its trials and its errors, its successes and its setbacks, can never be relaxed and never abandoned" - Dag Hammarskjold
Peace with its connotations of smiles, tranquility, friendship is worth a fight, a worthy pursuit, but not at the cost of dignity and country, so peace to all except those waging an economic war on America with weapons of globalization - those must perish so lasting peace may return to these Great United States of America.
And those opposed to this need a reminder that Mahatma Gandhi beat the British by leading Indians to boycotting Made in UK. He peacefully defeated India's colonizers, we can too - by doing the same, boycotting foreign made goods and companies that send jobs abroad.

On Faith
From SarvaShiva, Seattle
"Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother" - Kahlil Gibran
"Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe" - Voltaire
"Reason is our soul's left hand, faith her right" - John Donne
"If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm" - Mahtama Gandhi
"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase" Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe" - St. Augustine
"A man of courage is also full of faith" - Cicero
Why do we despair, agreed times are dire, fears real, but that faith works is also real because these men of great intellect and accomplishment would not embrace faith were it an illusion. Perhaps Faith is capabilities coupled with self-confidence in those, and maybe deployable skills are the only real foundation of faith, separating day-dreams from faith, earned from anticipated or entitled.
