We must cultivate a universal responsibility toward each other and extend it to the planet that we have to share

With genuine love and compassion, another person's appearance or behavior has no affect on your attitude.

Because the twentieth century was a century of violence, let us make the twenty-first a century of dialogue.

We have a natural creative ability and it is very important to realize this.

Too much of a self-centered attitude creates mistrust and suspicion in others, which can in turn lead to fear. But if you have more of an open mind, and you cultivate a sense of concern for others' well-being, then, no matter what others' attitudes are, you can keep your inner peace.

Compassion naturally creates a positive atmosphere, and as a result you feel peaceful and content.

Time passes unhindered. When we make mistakes, we cannot turn the clock back and try again. All we can do is use the present well.
