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

When human beings live together, conflict is inevitable. War is not.

Strength is happiness. Strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness

it is impossible to build one's own happiness on the unhappiness of others. This perspective is at the heart of Buddhist teachings.

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

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

Within the heart of every person exists the flame of wisdom that transforms all suffering into kindling for the fire of creative energy.
