Calm Soul of all things! Make it mine
To feel, amid the city's jar,
That there abides a peace of thine,
Man did not make, and can not mar.
Matthew Arnold (1822-1888)

A peace above all earthly dignities,
A still and quiet conscience.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471)

If we have not peace within ourselves, it is in vain to seek it from outward sources.
François de La Rouchefoucauld (1613–1680)

Where there is peace, God is.
George Herbert (1593-1633)

Peace doth not dwell in outward things, but within the soul.
Rudolf EFrançois Fenelon (1651–1715)

In His will is our peace.
Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)

I could not live in peace if I put the shadow of a willful sin between myself and God.
George Eliot (1819–1880)

From his cradle to his grave a man never does a single thing which has any first and foremost object save one—to secure peace of mind, spiritual comfort, for himself.
Mark Twain (1835–1910)

No peace was ever won from fate by subterfuge or agreement; no peace is ever in store for any of us, but that which we shall win by victory over shame or sin—victory over the sin that oppresses, as well as over that which corrupts.
John Ruskin (1819-1900)

There is no kind of peace which can be purchased on the bargain counter.
Carey Williams (dates uncertain)
