Peace Pole Dedication

On Gandhi's birthday, October 2, 2001 the children of the 48 member UU Fellowship in Bismarck, ND planted a peace pole in the fellowship's front yard during a public event attended by 80 people. It reads " May Peace Prevail On Earth" in four languages and will be the focal point of a peace garden.

"The Good We Can Do"

Is It Possible to live in Peace?

If someone with courage and vision can rise to lead in nonviolent action,
the winter of despair can, in the twinkling of an eye, be turned into the
summer of hope.

It is possible to live in Peace.

Nonviolence is not a garment to put on and off at will. Its seat is in the
heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.

It is possible to live in Peace.

Non-violence, which is a quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the
brain. It is a plant of slow growth, growing imperceptibly, but surely.

It is possible to live in Peace.

If a single person achieves the highest kind of love it will be sufficient
to neutralize the hate of millions.

It is possible to live in Peace.

if we are to reach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real
war against war, we shall have to begin with the childern.

It is Possible to live in Peace.

The future depends on what we do in the present.

It possible to live in Peace.

Mohandas K. Gandhi
