Who saidWhen the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will truly know peace?

Answer 1

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace."

people believe Jimi Hendrix was the creator of this quote it was really Sri Chinmoy Ghose

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The original person to say this also wrote the book, "Discourses On War" and it was first said like this: "We look forward to when the power to love will replace the love for power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace."

-Dr. William Ellery Channing

1780-1842

I know this, because my daughter used this as her senior quote in the 2011 Academy of Our Lady of Guam yearbook, which she co-edited.

He also wrote, "My Symphony" which is my favorite, put into a very creative book form by Mary Englebreit.

Please can the person who wrote the above answer provide me with the William Emery Channing book that the quote comes from?

As I want to really check the accuracy and research this properly.

According to William Fairchild on Rock Prophecy, the quote actually comes from William Ewart Gladstone, British Prime Minister. Both men were religious, caring, philosophical; Gladstone writing about the benefits of socialism and the evil of money; Channing writing about the benefits of love. Both were alive at the same time as each other, but Channing was 20 years older. So both are plausible, and maybe they both said it. I would really like to know.

"On page 639 of the Forbes Book of Business Quotations, edited by Ted Goodman (New York, Black Dog & Leventhal 1997), the quote is identified as being said by the four-time Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, William Gladstone (1809-1898):

"When the Power Of Love will replace the Love Of Power, then will our world know the blessings of Peace." - William Gladstone"

Sri Chinmoy Ghose is definitely not the first person to come up with the idea, but certainly he reworded it on many occasions (and why not, it's a powerful idea):

" "My books, they all have only one message: the heart's Power Of Love must replace the mind's Love Of Power. If I have the Power Of Love, then I shall claim the whole World as my own...World Peace can be achieved when the Power Of Love replaces the Love Of Power." - from My Heart Shall Give A Oneness-Feastby Sri Chinmoy (Agni Press, Jamaica, NY 1993)

William Gladstone's influence in Colonial India may have been how Chinmoy became familiar with the quote. Looking through interviews with Sri Chinmoy, it's clear that he paraphrased this, hiscentral belief, as he says above: "one message," in many variations during conversations with his followers. This is where the Hendrix connection comes in.

Among Chinmoy's followers were three Hendrix connections: Guitarists Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin, along with drummer Narada Michael Walden. All three knew Sri Chinmoy (who also was a musician, player of several instruments)."

Answer 2

The quote "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace" is often attributed to the musician Jimi Hendrix. However, the origins of this quote are unclear and it has been attributed to various other sources as well. The message highlights the importance of shifting from a mindset of seeking power to one centered around love and compassion for achieving peace in the world.
