Happy Peace Day from the BMGS Community
There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they grow up in peace.
-- Kofi Annan
Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free.
-- The XIVth Dalai Lama
It is possible to live in peace.
-- Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)
We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
-- William Gladstone
