I have a great belief in spiritual force, but I think we have to realize that spiritual force alone has to have material force with it so long as we live in a material world. The two together make a strong combination.

The most important thing in any relationship is not what you get but what you give.... In any case, the giving of love is an education in itself.

The choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.

Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be.

It is impossible to be a cynic if you live a good deal with young people. Fundamentally, every young person has a feeling that the future is going to hold something of value.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by doing the thing which you think you cannot do.

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.
