do you think it fits under which one:
1. Peace is not an absence of war; it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.
or
2. peace comes from within. do not seek it without.
what do you think? please back it up xD

Both are incorrect. Peace is a consequence; an effect. The cause of peace is Justice... Justice means to get what you deserve; good or bad, reward or punishment. If everybody gets what they deserve, everybody will be at peace.
The 'source' of peace is best exemplified in a question; "Is there any such thing as a reasonable demand?" The answer is obviously YES! The demand to be reasonable etc...
Remember that a demand is a request backed by the threat of force, you can demand that 'others' respect your rights, as you would expect them to demand the same from you...
You can demand a 'cause' but not an 'effect' - you can 'ask' (politely) for a free feed, a place to sleep, an education, medical attention etc but you cannot make it a demand without violating the rights of those who provide it. A demand for Justice however, a demand to be free from compulsion, or force from others, is perfectly 'reasonable' and valid. The only possible 'source' for this 'demand' is a proper government - a government that protects and upholds individual rights.
As there can be no such thing as the right to violate rights, whether by an individual or a group, a government that does so is not an upholder of rights, but an annihilator of rights and the cause of injustice by default.

I feel at peace when I'm watching infomercials at 4 in the morning, with a big tub of frozen cookie dough in my lap.
That's probably not the answer you were looking for, though.
Number One.
Peace is a state of mind.
It can be acquired anywhere, anytime.
All it needs is the right density.

peace comes from within
Lord Buddha ,was prince before he became Buddha,
as a prince he had all the Luxuries of his time.. wine ,women wealth, power, Games, good house, good food, good wife, a palace where no fallen leaf will be seen .. but he ran away one day from all this,,
and he found the peace in Forest.. where he meditated ,searched from within.
so peace comes from within

The secret of peace lays in simply agreeing with whatever whoever you are talking to says

Peace comes from wanting what you have.
