I'm trying to show by my actions that you can make a far better world if you just care enough. That's all you have to do. It's no big deal. One act of kindness a day can do it.

The Nobel Peace Prize is not awarded for what one has done, but hopefully what one will do.

Non violence is not a thing that comes easily. You have to learn how to be non-violent

Governments do not have the answers. Indeed quite the reversal. A lot of times they not only do not have the answers, they themselves are the problem. If we are committed to helping our world's children, then we must begin to create solutions from the bottom up.

But without painful experiences, we dont grow

We want for our children, as we want for ourselves, our lives at home, at work and at play, to be lives of joy and peace.

We dedicate ourselves to working with our neighbors, near and far, day in and day out, to building that peaceful society in which the tragedies we have known are a bad memory and a continuing warning.
