It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it. —Eleanor Roosevelt

Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.
As you grow up, always tell the truth, do no harm to others, and don’t think you are the most important being on earth. Rich or poor, you then can look anyone in the eye and say, ‘I’m probably no better than you, but I’m certainly your equal. #<Author:0x00007fa0647448a0>
EQUALITY
There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses - only results. #<Author:0x00007fa064743ea0>
COMMITMENT
Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be. #<Author:0x00007fa064742e60>
HOPE
Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It's the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. #<Author:0x00007fa064741e20>
COMPASSION
Hope is a passion for the possible. #<Author:0x00007fa064740ca0>
HOPE
Passion is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you're passionate about something, then you're more willing to take risks. #<Author:0x00007fa0647402a0>
PASSION
Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person. #<Author:0x00007fa0647be9c0>
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night—these are some of the rewards of the simple life. #<Author:0x00007fa0647be240>
APPRECIATING NATURE
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. #<Author:0x00007fa0647bd840>
SMILE
Family and friends are hidden treasures, seek them and enjoy their riches. #<Author:0x00007fa0647bd340>
FAMILY
The most essential factor is persistence—the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by discouragement. #<Author:0x00007fa0647bcd00>
PERSISTENCE
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. #<Author:0x00007fa0647bc300>
INSPIRATION
A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you, and were helped by you, will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble. #<Author:0x00007fa0647bb540>
CHARACTER
Enjoy all you have while pursuing all you want. #<Author:0x00007fa0647baf00>
APPRECIATION
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this. #<Author:0x00007fa0647ba500>
MINDFULNESS
To achieve the impossible, it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought. #<Author:0x00007fa0647b9c40>
