September 21: International Day of Peace
Posted by Gayle Gifford on September 21, 2009
“We will not build a peaceful world by following a negative path. It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it. We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but on the positive affirmation of peace… We must see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody, that is far superior to the discords of war.”
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, 1964
