The real troublemakers are anger, jealousy, impatience, and hatred. With them, problems cannot be solved. Though we may have temporary success, ultimately our hatred or anger will create futher difficulties. Anger makes for swift solutions. Yet, when we face problems with compassion, sincerity, and good motivation, our solutions may take longer, but ultimately they are better.

We need an approach to ethics which makes no recourse to religion and can be equally acceptable to those with faith and those without.

Compassion is the wish to see others free from suffering.

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

Killing animals for sport, for pleasure, for adventure, and for hides and furs is a phenomena which is at once disgusting and distressing. There is no justification in indulging is such acts of brutality.

We are working as hard as we can; we are preparing ourselves as carefully as we can; we fully intend to make our contribution to the world in the coming century.

I am confident that the next century will be better than this one.
