Mildred Lisette Norman, AKA Peace PilgrimShe introduced herself to people as a pilgrim—walking not to a place but for an idea. Her message was a simple one about the way to peace: She said over and over to all who would listen: “This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.” Her definition of peace included peace among nations, among people and individuals, and the most important peace—within oneself— for only with inner peace, she believed, can the other kinds be achieved. She believed that her way should not be taken lightly, or viewed simply as impractical religious concepts, but rather, as universal truths to be lived:
These are laws governing human conduct, which apply as rigidly as the law of gravity. When we disregard these laws in any walk of life chaos results. Through obedience to these laws this world of ours could enter into a period of peace and richness beyond our fondest dreams.
