Peace Quote: John F. Kennedy

“Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.”  -John F. Kennedy

Since the WARP Summit, Chairman Man Hee Lee has been travelling around the world with his message and vision of peace. These trips are not just a simple visit to a nation or a certain figure. His visit is to gather more advocates of peace. He is meeting people to alert the importance of peace. Just as President Kennedy explains, Chairman Man Hee Lee is changing the opinions of people, which were created by simple differences that ignored the greater similarities of opposing groups. He also has been slowly breaking the barriers that once divided a nation or a group. This is truly remarkable. I believe this daily, weekly, monthly process will trigger the awareness of world peace in the global community. This will eventually result world peace, with HWPL as the center and the moderator.

Peace Quote: Dale Carnegie

If half a century of living has taught me anything at all, it has taught me that nothing can bring you peace but yourself. - Dale Carnegie

The life experience of Dale Carneige teaches us that peace begins only with person. And peace is only possible people gathering together for one cause. It is not possible, when there is resistance, because this will leave a cut in the peace work. Peace must be achieved without resistance or conflict. Peace that is achieve through force is not peace, but forced quietness. Peace is something that must be understood by each individual through awareness. This work I believe is being completed by Chairman Man Hee Lee and the international peace organization HWPL.

Peace Quote: Fred Rogers

“When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.” Fred Rogers

We know that most wars arise from greed. Greed is wanting something more than what one have that will cause one to take away what belongs to others. This is how conflict begins. It happens with greed. Unfortunately, religions were mostly part of these conflicts. Religions must practice love. This will conquer hate, war and greed. I hope that the message of peace will reach to the people of all world, so that we may start loving one another.

Peace Quote: Mother Teresa

"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other."


We have to always remember that we are one. Although we may look different outwardly, we are one family living in a home called the Earth. The message of Chairman Man Hee Lee reminds us today how similar we are. Wars and conflicts happen because we are not able to reach an agreement or resolve such difference with words and understanding. Chairman Man Hee Lee showed through the resolution in Mindanao that agreement is possible without war. Physical war will only cause sufferings on the both conflicting parties. I am excited to see the further steps that Chairman Lee will take in order to achieve world peace and how he would apply the quote of Mother Teresa in his messages.
