Peace Pilgrim (July 18, 1908 – July 7, 1981) born Mildred Lisette Norman, was an American pacifist, vegetarian, and peace activist. In 1952, she became the first woman to walk the entire length of the Appalachian Trail in one season.

Enjoy These Great Thoughts From The Peace Pilgrim:

A pilgrim is a wanderer with purpose.

Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usefulness possesses you, and in this materialistic age a great many of us are possessed by our possessions.

As I lived up to the highest light I had, higher and higher light came to me.

Before the tongue can speak, it must have lost the power to wound.

Do not suppress it - that would hurt you inside. Do not express it - this would not only hurt you inside, it would cause ripples in your surroundings. What you do is transform it.

For light I go directly to the Source of light, not to any of the reflections.

Humanity has only scratched the surface of its real potential.

I don't eat junk foods and I don't think junk thoughts.

Keep your feet on the ground and your thoughts at lofty heights.

Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life so full of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think about food.

My appointed work is to awaken the divine nature that is within.

No one can find inner peace except by working, not in a self- centered way, but for the whole human family.

One little person, giving all of her time to peace, makes news. Many people, giving some of their time, can make history.

People see themselves as the center of the universe and judge everything as it relates to them.

Praying without ceasing is not ritualized, nor are there even words. It is a constant state of awareness of oneness with God.

Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return.

The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one's life.

The valid research for the future is on the inner side, on the spiritual side.

The way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things.
