A truley heroic way of life lies in squarely confronting and courageously overcoming the pounding vicissitudes that life always throws in our paths

We have both a weak self and a strong self; the two are completely different. If we allow our weak side to dominate, we will be defeated. The thought ,"I am still young and have a lot of time, so I can relax and take life easy" is a function of our own weakness.

I believe that a culture of peace must be the essential foundation of our efforts for peace.

There is no one as strong as a person whose heart is always filled with gratitude.

It is much more valuable to look for the strength in others. You can gain nothing by criticizing their imperfections.

A great revolution in just one single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a society and, further, will enable a change in the destiny of humankind.

You must not for one moment give up the effort to build up new lives for yourself.
