More From Salman Rushdie

Perhaps peace is not, after all, something you work for, or 'fight for.' it is indeed 'fighting for peace' that starts all the wars. what, after all, are the pretexts of all these cold war crises, but 'fighting for peace?' peace is something you have or do not have. if you are yourself at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world. then share your peace with everyone, and everyone will be at peace.
War Fighting World
We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.
Peace Mean Self
A few really dedicated people can offset the masses of out of harmony people, so we who work for peace must not falter, we must continue to pray for peace and to act for peace in whatever way we can. we must continue to speak for peace and to live the way of peace; to inspire others, we must continue to think of peace and know that peace is possible. what we dwell upon we help bring to manifestation. one little person giving all of her time to peace makes news. many people giving some of their time can make history.
Peace Thinking People
The twentieth century had dispensed with the formal declaration of war and introduced the fifth column, sabotage, cold war, and war by proxy, but that was only the begining. summit meetings for disarmament pursued mutual understanding and a balance of power but were also held to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy. the world of the war-or-peace alternative became a world in which war was peace and peace war.
War Understanding Enemy
I think you've got to pay the price for anything that's worthwhile, and success is paying the price. you've got to pay the price to win, you've got to pay the price to stay on top, and you 've got to pay the price to get there.
Motivational Sports Winning
We can never obtain peace in the world if we neglect the inner world and don't make peace with ourselves. world peace must develop out of inner peace. without inner peace it is impossible to achieve world peace, external peace. weapons themselves do not act. they have not come out of the blue. man has made them. but even given those weapons, those terrible weapons, they cannot act by themselves. as long as they are left alone in storage they cannot do any harm. a human being must use them. someone must push the button. satan, the evil powers, cannot push that button. human beings must do it.

Similar Quotes
Reading is at the threshold of spiritual life; it can introduce us to it; it does not constitute it. there are, however, certain cases, certain pathological cases, so to speak, of spiritual depression in which reading can become a sort of curative discipline and assume the task, through repeated stimulation, of continuously reintroducing a lazy mind into the life of the spirit.
Spiritual Reading Discipline
When you do not name a group of people, you are compelled to look at each individual face and not treat them all as the mass.
Spiritual Names People
The two roads that lead to poverty and riches travel in opposite directions. if you want riches, you must refuse to accept any circumstance that leads to poverty. (the word riches is here used in its broadest sense, meaning financial, spiritual, mental, and material estates).
Spiritual Opposites Two
There is only one important point you must keep in your mind and let it be your guide. no matter what people call you, you are just who you are. keep to this truth. you must ask yourself how is it you want to live your life. we live and we die, this is the truth that we can only face alone. no one can help us, not even the buddha. so consider carefully, what prevents you from living the way you want to live your life?
