In a time where the world is filled with humans with no humanity, it's always important to take some time to think and grow through quotes that promote peace and love between human beings. Take some time to forget your differences and anger and read this list to refresh your mind.

1. "Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between individuals." -Mahatma Gandhi

2. "Every act of love is a work of peace no matter how small." -Mother Teresa

3. "Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding." -Albert Einstein

4. "Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence."-Henry David Thoreau

5. "Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means." -Ronald Reagan

6. "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind."-Mahatma Gandhi

7. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." -Jimi Hendrix

8. "Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it." -Thomas Jefferson

9. "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." -Martin Luther King, Jr.


10. "Love is the flower you've got to let grow." - John Lennon

11. "Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience." -Thomas Merton

12. "Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous." -George Bernard Shaw

13. "The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace." -Carlos Santana

14. "This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love." -Peace Pilgrim

15. "Jesus said, 'Blessed are the peacemakers.' And I think a lot of people don't understand that there's a difference between a peace lover and a peacemaker. Everybody loves peace, but wearing jewelry around your neck and saying 'I love peace' doesn't bring it." -Mike Huckabee


With a word filled with hatred on every corner and judgement deeply imbedded within our subconscious thoughts, it is our duty to reflect on our wrongdoings as humans and make peace amongst ourselves. Spread love.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
