<p>The True Peace<br/><br/>The first peace, which is the most important, is that <br/>which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, <br/>their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that <br/>at the center of the universe dwells Wakan-Taka (the Great Spirit), and that <br/>this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.<br/><br/>This is the <br/>real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that <br/>which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made <br/>between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be <br/>peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have <br/>often said, is within the souls of men.<br/>Black Elk - Oglala Sioux</p>
