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

“Many things in your life matter, but only one thing matters absolutely.It matters whether you succeed or fail in the eyes of the world. It matters whether you are healthy or not healthy, whether you are educated or not educated. It matter whether you are rich or poor - it certainly makes a difference in your life. Yes, all these things matter, relatively speaking, but they don't matter absolutely.There is something that matters more than any of those things and that is finding the essence of who you are beyond that short-lived entity, that short-lived personalized sense of self.”
