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

Victory lies in not getting defeated.

There is no true joy in a life lived closed up in the little shell of the self. When you take one step to reach out to people, when you meet with others and share their thoughts and sufferings, infinite compassion and wisdom well up within your heart. Your life is transformed.
