Each year on September 21st, the International Day of Peace is observed around the world. It is declared as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. To help mark the day, here are some of our favorite famous peace quotes.

"Peace begins with a smile." - Mother Teresa

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

"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without." - Buddha

"Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal." - Martin Luther King, Jr. Are we feeling inspired yet? Go on and celebrate today by doing something that brings you or those around you peace!
