This is the season when our minds turn to the contemplation of peace on earth, and we send cards and social media messages to our friends and loved ones wishing for peace.
We at Teach Peace Now have gathered together ten thought-provoking quotes on peace that speak to the soul and heart and are not usually found on holiday cards.
