Open your arms to change but don't let go of your values.

Depression seems to be related to fear, anger and frustration. When you're in a bad mood, even if you meet with your friends, you don't take pleasure in their company. But when you're in a good mood, even if things go wrong, you can cope with them without difficulty. This is why putting yourself in a good mood, making a point of developing a sense of loving kindness gives you greater inner strength.

The cultivation of compassion is no longer a luxury, but a necessity, if our species is to survive.

Many problems that confront us today are created by man, whether they are violent conflicts, destruction of the environment, poverty or hunger. These problems can be resolved thanks to human efforts by understanding that we are brother and sister and by developing this sense of closeness. We must cultivate a universal responsibility toward each other and extend it to the planet that we have to share.

We must not lose our trust in the power of truth. Everything is always changing in the world.

Reason well from the beginning and then there will never be any need to look back with confusion and doubt.

The ultimate way to solve human problems is with nonviolence.
