Peace has been variously defined, but perhaps we might think of it as “harmony within one's self, and with God and man.” (Ensign, October 1983)

I would that the healing power of Christ might spread over the earth and be diffused through our society and into our homes, that it might cure men's hearts of the evil and adverse elements of greed and hate and conflict. I believe it could happen. I believe it must happen. If the lamb is to lie down with the lion, then peace must overcome conflict, healing must mend injury.
-Gordon B. Hinckley

There is a price which is too great to pay for peace, and that price can be put in one word. One cannot pay the price of self-respect.

The only real peace in this world is peace of mind.
-Robert L. Simpson

Peace will replace fear in men's hearts when they listen to the counsel of God's prophet and accept and follow the principles of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
-Franklin D. Richards

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
