“In this world, unity is achievable only by learning to unite in spite of differences, rather than insisting on unity without differences. For their total eradication is an impossibility. The secret of attaining peace in life is tolerance of disturbance of the peace. (p. 99)”

“Peace is not unity in similarity but unity in diversity, in the comparison and conciliation of differences.”

“It is not the different practice from one another that breaks the Peace and Unity, but judging of one another because of differing practices.”

“What is this peace, different from that which the world gives? This peace is the one your love gives... a peace greater than suffering, not a peace without war, but a peace in spite of war, during war, above war, the peace of the soul, having, through love, its whole life in heaven and thus enjoying the peace of heaven in spite of everything which may happen on earth around it and against it. - from Michel Carrouges, "Soldier of the Spirit”

“Man is this plural and collective unity in which the unity of destination and the differences of destinies are to be understood through each other.”

“Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.”
