Global Peace – An Islamic Perspective ACET– Global Peace Project

Famous quotations on peace

Peace is a concept that crosses all borders of heritage, religion, and culture. It has been the subject

of academic discussion, religious scripture, political agenda, and popular music. Regardless

of the medium in which it is presented, whether spoken firmly in grand speeches, written
philosophically in journals, or sung with a guitar in hand, the importance of peace cannot be

denied. At ACET–Global, we have drawn inspiration from many people from a diverse range

of backgrounds. We have collected a few quotes here to demonstrate a commonality between

all of these famous figures – the belief that peace is a beautiful and powerful goal that should

be worked towards globally, for the betterment of all humanity.
