Better than if there were thousands
of meaningless words
is one meaningful word
that on hearing
brings peace.

Better than if there were thousands
of meaningless verses
is one meaningful verse
that on hearing
brings peace.

And better than chanting hundreds
of meaningless verses
is one Dhamma-saying
that on hearing
brings peace.
 
Dhammapada - viii - thousands


The United Nations' International Day of Peace is celebrated on September 21st each year to recognize the efforts of all those who have - and continue to work hard, to end conflict and promote peace.
