We can't blame the entire Muslim society because of the mischievous acts of a few individuals. Therefore, at the general public level we must cultivate the notion of not just one religion, one truth, but pluralism and many truths. We can change the atmosphere, and we can modify certain ways of thinking.

If a problem can be solved it will be. If it can not be solved there is no use worrying about it.

We don’t need more money, we don’t need greater success or fame, we don’t need the perfect body or even the perfect mate-right now, at this very moment, we have a mind, which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve complete happiness.

A mind committed to compassion is like an overflowing reservoir - a constant source of energy, determination, and kindness.

Anger and hatred lead to fear; compassion and concern for others allow us to develop self-confidence, which breeds trust and friendship.

A positive state of mind is not merely good for you, it benefits everyone with whom you come into contact, literally changing the world.

Once you encourage the thought of compassion in your mind, once it becomes active, then your attitude towards others changes automatically.
