Proverbs
A proverb is short, easy to memorise, sometimes poetic, always offering good sense. Proverbs are a way of communicating and sharing messages verbally with the widest range of persons. Have a look too at those proverbs which make up the "Golden Rule"... If you enjoy these peace proverbs that people from such different countries transmit from generation to generation, transmit these to your friends and put them up in a nice visible place !
Life stories
Each story offered here shows a path from violence to peace: Some relate to a positive transformation relative to violence (victim or author), others illustrate some peace reflexes that helped them avoid or block violence, sometimes even appeasing the situation lastingly. You too can contribute such examples.
