I'm designing my Christmas card for this year and need a little bit of text. Do you have a favorite? I would like something secular, or more-or-less secular, since I have friends of many different beliefs including atheists. Thanks!

For your card maybe,
Peace, like charity, begins at home.
~Franklin Roosevelt
However, my favourite peace quote is,
Ring out the thousand wars of old.
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
~Lord Tennyson

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God" Matthew 5:9
This one is for all the Christians that support war, any war!!
"Peace is not an sbsence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice." Benedict De Spinoza
This is your secular one, I hope it helps.

Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one. -John Lennon

this one is my own quote, so you would have to include that if you used it. you can modify it to your liking.
there is no such thing as world peace. it is a fantasy of those who are lost In a world of hopeful optimism. there never was world peace, and there wil never be world peace. at least not until the last of the human race is gone forever.

You wanna know what I did? I went to http://www.hallmark.com and browsed their Christmas cards until I found a saying I liked. They're the experts! :)

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
