In Search of a Formula for Peace

English book, p. 378

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

I went up to them and told them that it would be much better for them to sing their song like this: Let’s make peace, let’s make peace. For peace is the way to success. The children smiled at this. One child about ten years of age got so excited that he rushed to offer me an olive branch which is considered to be a symbol of peace. Needless to say that I accepted that with thanks. It was indeed the response of nature represented by an innocent child. It is my firm belief that nature loves peace and that if we appeal to human nature the response no doubt will be greatly positive.
