We can hardly call a beggar an obstacle to generosity.

I believe that the destructive nature of society that now threatens the existence of the entire human world has much to do with human intelligence. The way to overcome all human suffering-that also is through human intelligence.

Without the human community one single human being cannot survive.

The many factors which divide us are actually much more superficial than those we share. Despite all of the things that differentiate us - race, language, religion, gender, wealth and so on - we are all equal concerning our fundamental humanity.

We have never declared war on China. We have only asked them to leave us in peace, to let us have our natural freedom.

When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities.

Happiness does not come about only due to external circumstances; it mainly derives from inner attitudes.
