Quote by Peace Pilgrim

“THIS IS THE WAY OF PEACE: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love... My simple peace message is adequate - really just the message that the way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things. One in harmony with God's law of love has more strength than an army, for one need not subdue an adversary; an adversary can be transformed.”

Author

Peace Pilgrim (born Mildred Norman, July 18, 1908 - July 7, 1981) was an American peace activist renowned for her extraordinary pilgrimage for peace. Beginning in 1952, she walked across the United States nearly continuously for nearly three decades, covering over 25,000 miles to promote peace and nonviolence. A committed vegetarian, she advocated for simple living and authored the book "Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in the Cause of Peace." Her dedication to walking rather than driving, and her message of inner peace as the foundation for world peace, made her a legendary figure in the American peace movement. more
