I’ve begun my mediation and conflict resolution classes and trainings for years with a relevant conflict resolution quotation from someone famous or particularly astute. So, I get a lot of requests from former students, training participants and others that begin with, “What was that great quote you shared the other day…?”
Now I’ve put my small database of conflict resolution, communications, problem solving and peace quotes in a single place here at Conflict Zen. I’ll update it periodically.

One more quotation for your consideration:
I was ruined but twice in life. Once when I lost a lawsuit, and once when I won. — Voltaire
I love it, William. Definitely an addition for my collection!
What a great collection of quotes! I especially liked, “The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them. – Tom Crum”

Karen, Tom Crum’s got some terrific material, including a video series, The Magic of Conflict. If you ever run across a copy or your library can borrow it, it’s worth viewing.
Thanks for stopping in!
What a wonderful collection. I could spot some of my favorites and so many lovely new ones. Just reading them was a calming. A couple of others;
An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind- Mahatma Gandhi
When life hurls rocks at you it is up to you to build a wall or a bridge.
P.S. Love the way your comment box auto types http:// – small things- big delight.
