Merry Christmas

Love, peace and happiness this Christmas


So these are ours; faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is Love.
-Corinthians 13:13


"If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace."
Thich Nhat Hanh

At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities. ~Jean Houston

“Happiness quite unshared can scarcely be called happiness; it has no taste.”
Charlotte Brontë

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday and our present thoughts build our life tomorrow: our life is the creation of our mind. Buddha

“What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family.” Mother Teresa

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

The Prophet Muhammad (s) said: “Do not turn away a poor man…even if all you can give is half a date. If you love the poor and bring them near you…God will bring you near Him on the Day of Resurrection.”
———
Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1376.

Peace is not in money, estate, bungalows and possessions. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but within the soul. Swami Sivananda

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Helen Keller


Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all that they are.”
—Hafsat Abiola
