Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
You, Lord, give true peace to those who depend on you, because they trust you. Isaiah 26:3
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18
Calmness. Peacefulness. Serenity. The tendency to try to accommodate rather than argue. The understanding that differences are seldom resolved through conflict and that meanness in others in as indication of their problem or insecurity and thus of their need for your understanding. The ability to understand how others feel rather than simply reacting to them. Control of temper. (Taken from Teaching Your Child Values, by Linda and Richard Eyre.)
