Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.

Our enemies are our greatest teachers.

I do not see any reason why animals should be slaughtered to serve as human diet when there are so many substitutes. After all, man can live without meat.

Through awareness, you get a certain attitude. That's the way, you see, to achieve more peaceful, more compassion, more friendship through that way.
