More From William Tecumseh Sherman

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.

Under a tyranny, most friends are a liability. one quarter of them turn "reasonable" and become your enemies, one quarter are afraid to speak, and one quarter are killed and you die with them. but the blessed final quarter keep you alive.
Friendship Blessed Enemy
It just was a gradual development over the years. i mean last year was 'all you need is love.' this year, it's 'all you need is love and peace, baby.' give peace a chance, and remember love. the only hope for us is peace. violence begets violence. you can have peace as soon as you like if we all pull together. you're all geniuses, and you're all beautiful. you don't need anyone to tell you who you are. you are what you are. get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.

I grew up in a very loving middle class family. my parents were educators. i'm not even the first phd in my family. they tried to shield me, just as other parents in my neighborhood tried to shield their children. but you knew there was a reason that you couldn't go to that theme park or to a movie theater or to a hamburger stand. they couldn't shield you completely. what they did though was they never let it be an excuse for not achieving, and they always said racism is somebody else's problem, not yours. they tried in that way not to make us bitter about birmingham.

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
Why is it so much easier to talk to a stranger? why do we feel we need to disconnect in order to connect? if i wrote "dear sofia" or "dear boomer" or "dear lily's great-aunt" at the top of this postcard, wouldn't that change the words that followed? of course it would. but the question is: when i wrote "dear lily," was that just a version of "dear myself"? i know it was more than that. but it was also less than that, too

We are like people living in a country whose language they know so little that, with all manner of beautiful and profound things to say, they are condemned to the banalities of the conversation manual. their brain is seething with ideas, and they can only tell you that the umbrella of the gardener's aunt is in the house.

I'm not dauntless - i'm divergent. i am whatever i choose to be.

I thought mike pence, upon reflection to me, came across a little bit like your favorite aunt who refuses, in spite of first-person evidence that grandpa has been drunk and disorderly in public, that, says, no, no, grandpa would never do that, even though grandpa is being taken off in handcuffs.
