Quotes by John Stevens  (?)

“The Art of Peace is medicine for a sick world. We want to cure the world of the sickness of violence, malcontent, and discord—this is the Way of Harmony. There is evil and disorder in the world because people have forgotten that all things emanate from one source. Return to that source and leave behind all self-centered thoughts, petty desires, and anger. Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything.”
John Stevens, The Art of Peace

“Contemplate the workings of this world, listen to the words of the wise, and take all that is good as your own. With this as your base, open your own door to truth. Do not overlook the truth that is right before you.”
John Stevens, The Art of Peace

“In Aikido, we train not to learn how to win; we train to learn to emerge victorious in any situation.”
John Stevens, The Art of Peace
