When one takes action for others, one's own suffering is transformed into the energy that can keep one moving forward; a light of hope illuminating a new tomorrow for oneself and others is kindled.

There are no greater treasures than the highest human qualities such as compassion, courage and hope. Not even tragic accident or disaster can destroy such treasures of the heart.

True happiness means forging a strong spirit that is undefeated, no matter how trying our circumstances.

Nothing is more precious than peace. Peace is the most basic starting point for the advancement of humankind.

The reactions of the human heart are not mechanical and predictable but infinitely subtle and delicate.

Strength is itself victory.

What matters is the value we’ve created in our lives, the people we’ve made happy and how much we’ve grown as people.
