A worthy list, Pretti. I know the feeling … indeed we all need to be reminded that we ave the power to cross the shore of noise and chaos to peace and calm any time we choose. No matter how frantic life gets we always have the inexorable right to take command of our mind.
Hi Preeti,
We all need time to relax and rejuvenate. There is nothing like peace in the heart and peace in the home. What a wonderful combination. I loved your list of quotes very much.
Thank you for the list of inspirational quotes, Preeti. I am experiencing some turmoil in my life right now, too. These have helped immensely.
That’s a great list. You can feel the tension dissolve as you read it.
Interesting to see how many of them were about letting go of the past and future and simply concentrating on today. There is wisdom in that.
hello preeti
how are you?
long time. hope evryone is okay and the homeschooling is doing well.
thanks for coming up with this inspiring and refreshing quotes.
take care and enjoy the rest of the day
What a wonderful verse about peace at the top of the page!
All other quotes are precious. But I like most “Honor the past,
Live in the present, Create the future.” This is more close to the reality of life.
Good Post, ZenGirl.
Hi Preeti,
Great list! Some I read them before and some are new to me, but all of them are great!
May I add one of mine?
“When we isolate from the noise, we realize we are still alive, so the noise wasn’t so important after all”

Thanks, right now, these peace quotes are so much needed in my life I thought of sharing what I need with others! Sometimes, all we need is bit inspiration right?

I am all right, how are you doing? Life is bit crazy but I am sure it will sort out in no time. This makes it life more interesting huh? I hope your child is better and life is peaceful at your end.

I agree, our past and future are connected with our present very much so! There is lot of wisdom to learn from these wise folks. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Betsy,
Oh no, not you too. I hope things go well for you and bargain guy soon! At least we can be each other’s company in life’s turmoil. Wishing you best!
Angela,
You are so right, being productive and “on go” can make you resent the life, peace is so much more precious than anything I have right now and I wish I had it. I am working on it. Thank you for chiming in and your friendship.
Rob,
How are you? Yes, we all need peace and quite to reflect and go forward. Sometimes life gives us so much noise, and sometimes we as people make so much noise! 🙂 Peace is bliss.
Preeti, I love this collection of quotes.
“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, it empties today of its strength.” It’s amazing how easy it is to worry and yet there’s such little benefit to it.
The poem you have at the top of the post is brilliant. I hadn’t heard it before. Thank you for sharing it
🙂
Aileen,
I am glad you enjoyed the quotes and poems.
