Peace is not the absence of war; it is a virtue; a state of mind; a disposition for benevolence; confidence; and justice. - Spinoza

It is worth while coming to Christ even just to get rid of care, to sleep soundly and awake happy.

Andrew Bonar (1810-92)

Lord, if I may not have peace from thee, grant I may get it from nothing else.
