World Peace Leaders




Mahatma Gandhi’s words "You must be the change you wish to see" are common throughout most peacemakers lives. In chapter three of the Peace Diaries we nominate and vote for our candidate for World Peace President. Below are Peace Quotes and links to the stories of just a few inspirational leaders with an opening introduction to them by writers from Time Magazine1 and from the Norwegian Nobel Committee2. We can choose to nominate these leaders or choose other heroes that we admire.
