We can solve many problems in an appropriate way, without any difficulty, if we cultivate harmony, friendship and respect for one another.

I always try to share with others the idea that in order to become compassionate it is not necessary to become religious.

When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts.

We are all, by nature, clearly oriented toward the basic human values of love and compassion. We all prefer the love of others to their hatred. We all prefer others’ generosity to meanness. And who is there among us who does not prefer tolerance, respect and forgiveness of our failings to bigotry, disrespect, and resentment?

True spirituality is a mental attitude you can practice at any time.

Until you have the inner discipline that brings calmness of mind, external facilities and conditions will never bring the joy and happiness you seek. On the other hand, if you possess this inner quality, calmness of mind, a degree of stability within, even if you lack the various external factors that you would normally require to be happy, it will still be possible to live a happy and joyful life.

We need a little more compassion, and if we cannot have it, then no politician or even a magician can save the planet.
