If the work is worthwhile, then whether we can complete it or not, it's worth making the attempt. That's why courage is important.

People should not rush to change religions. There is real value in finding the spiritual resources you need in your home religion. Even secular humanism has great spiritual resources; it is almost like a religion to me.

When we are angry we are blind to reality. Anger may bring us a temporary burst of energy, but that energy is blind and it blocks the part of our brain that distinguishes right from wrong. To deal with our problems, we need to be practical and realistic. If we are to be realistic, we need to use our human intelligence properly, which means we need a calm mind.

The proper use of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.

Wisdom and inner peace must be created by yourself.
