Human beings are inherently endowed with the power to bring out the best possible results from the worst possible circumstances.

To be fearless no matter what happens-that is the root of true happiness. To move forward resolutely regardless of what lies in store-that is the spirit, the resolve, that leads to human victory.

We are not merely passive pawns of historical forces; nor are we victims of the past. We can shape and direct history.

Divorced from the cosmos, from nature, from society and from each other, we have become fractured and fragmented.

It is by fighting and triumphing over the enemies of the Buddha that we ourselves become Buddhas.

One thing is certain: That is that the power of belief, the power of thought, will move reality in the direction of what we believe and conceive of it. If you really believe you can do something, you can. That is a fact.

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