Prosperity is a parent to peace.
Life in Somalia before the civil war was beautiful. When the war happened, I was 8 years old and at that stage of understanding the world in a different way.
Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.
My pacifism is an instinctive feeling, a feeling that possesses me because the murder of men is disgusting. My attitude is not derived from any intellectual theory but is based on my deepest antipathy to every kind of cruelty and hatred.
Under peaceful conditions a warlike man sets upon himself.
I don't want a one-state solution. I want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution, but for that circumstances have to change.
Complete civil disobedience is a state of peaceful rebellion, a refusal to obey every single state-made law.
Bed is the best place for reading, thinking, or doing nothing.

I'm very content.
The Constitutional framers were peace men; but they preferred revolution to peaceful submission to bondage. They were quiet men; but they did not shrink from agitating against oppression. They showed forbearance; but that they knew its limits. They believed in order; but not in the order of tyranny. With them, nothing was "settled" that was not right. With them, justice, liberty and humanity were "final;" not slavery and oppression.
I do not like violence.
Come, Boy, sit down. Sit down and rest." And the boy did. And the tree was happy.
What my home life is like now is great.
There is a kind of serenity in love which is almost a paradise.
My happy place is my bedroom. I love it.
There is "what is" only when there is no comparing and to live with "what is" is to be peaceful.
New Zealand is a place where you can get well.
