![“[Peace] is the highest and most strenuous act of the soul, but an entirely harmonious act, in which all our powers and affections are blending in a beautiful proportion, and sustain and perfect one another. It is more than the silence after storms. It is as the concord of all melodious sounds…” quote by William Ellery Channing](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0d4/william-ellery-channing-3428_affection_peace-is-the-highest-and-most-strenuous_1634171.jpg)
