One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.

When you know to laugh and when to look upon things as too absurd to take seriously, the other person is ashamed to carry through even if he was serious about it.

Get out of the way as quickly as you're not needed.

It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

You do the things that need to be done according to priority.

If human beings can be trained for cruelty and greed and a belief in power which comes through hate and fear and force, certainly we can train equally well for greatness and mercy and the power of love which comes because of the strength of the good qualities to be found in the soul of every human being.

Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.
