Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent revolt of violent repression.
Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution
of all to the good of all.
Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity.
It is right and it is duty.

-- Bishop Oscar Romero (1917-1980)

Here are some words to remember as International Peace Day approaches.  This quotes comes from Bishop Romero who was assasinated by the Salvadoran military for wanting to spread the word of peace in a country that had none.
