Marianne Williamson Quotes

Until we have created a romance of peace that would equal that of war, violence will not disappear from people's lives.

I think 'Make love, not war' might be the most profound statement that's ever been made.

War is not the answer, because only love can conquer hate.

Can we all get along?

Civilization is a failure. We need to think what we can do together in love and peace.

Force may subdue, but love gains, and he that forgives first wins the laurel.

Everyone should play their role in tearing down the wall of hatred.

All that violence in the world, we need to stop that.

We don't need no more danger, we don't need no more difficulties, we don't need no more misunderstanding, and we don't need no more violence. We need the people to see each other and know of each other, feel each other, touch each other, share with each other, and change hearts with each other.

Take away the violence and who will hear the men of peace?

We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living.

People respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that's how they'll react. But if you say, 'We want peace, we want stability,' we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society.

The quest for peace begins in the home, in the school and in the workplace.

Peace is the virtue of civilization. War is its crime.

Violence against violence? That will never solve the problem.

Make peace, you fools!

We can't afford to be killing one another.

We have to stop the cycle of violence affecting so many of our communities. We have to love each other.

Every fight should be settled through love and dialogue.

The natural instinct is to join in the chorus of conflict, to make your voice louder, your point bigger, and your position stronger. But we will not solve the significant and real problems our country faces if we cannot bring ourselves to embrace a mindset of grace.

All sides must learn to respect one another.

Human beings are not our enemy. Our enemy is not the other person. Our enemy is the violence, ignorance, and injustice in us and in the other person. When we are armed with compassion and understanding, we fight not against other people, but against the tendency to invade, to dominate, and to exploit.

Nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could, for all those born beneath an angry star, lest we forget how fragile we are.

Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.

War would end if the dead could return.
