Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful. [ Schiller ]

How peaceful and how powerful is the grave! [ Byron ]

And to hie him home, at evening's close.
To sweet repast, and calm repose.

From toil he wins his spirits light.
From busy day the peaceful night;
Rich, from the very want of wealth,
In heaven's best treasures, peace and health. [ Gray ]

Constant quiet fills my peaceful breast with unmixed joy. [ Dillon ]

The good which bloodshed could not gain your peaceful zeal shall find. [ Whittier ]

From its peaceful bosom spring none but fond regrets and tender recollections. [ Washington Irving ]

Still as the peaceful walks of ancient night; silent as are the lamps that burn on tombs. [ William Shakespeare ]

Death is a silent, peaceful genius, who rocks our second childhood to sleep in the cradle of the coffin. [ Chatfield ]

There are some moral conditions in which Death smiles upon us, as smiles a silent and peaceful night upon the exhausted laborer. [ Alfred Mercier ]

An everlasting tranquility is, in my imagination, the highest possible felicity, because I know of no felicity on earth higher than that which a peaceful mind and contented heart afford. [ Zimmermann ]

There is a voice from the tomb sweeter than song. There is a remembrance of the dead to which we turn even from the charms of the living. Oh, the grave! the grave! It buries every error, covers every defect, extinguishes every resentment. From its peaceful bosom spring none but fond regrets and tender recollections. [ Washington Irving ]

Consistent characters are those which in social intercourse are easy, sure, and gentle. We do not clash with them, and they are never wanting nor contradictory to themselves; their stability incites confidence, their frankness induces self-surrendering openness. We feel at ease with them, we are not offended at their superiority, doubtless we admire them less, but we also hardly dream of feeling envious of them, and they seem almost to disdain malignity by the peaceful influence of their presence. [ Degerando ]
