Muriel Lester

The job of the peacemaker is to stop war, to purify the world, to get it saved from poverty and riches, to heal the sick, to comfort the sad, to wake up those who have not yet found God, to create joy and beauty wherever you go, to find God in everything and in everyone.

- Muriel Lester
(1884-1968)

Muriel Lester's year of birth is giving variously as 1883, 1884 and 1885. She was well-known as a pacifist in the years prior to World War II, and had a long association with Mahatma Gandhi.
