I believe every act of violence is also a message that needs to be understood. Violence should not be answered just by greater violence but by real understanding. We must ask: 'Where is the violence coming from? What is its meaning?

When we begin to believe that there is greater joy in working with and for others, rather than just for ourselves, then our society will truly become a place of celebration.

So many in our world today are suffering from isolation, war and oppression. So much money is spent on the construction of armaments. Many, many young people are in despair because of the danger.

When children are loved, they live off trust; their bides and hearts open up to those who respect and love them, who understand and listen to them.

If we love (the poor) people, we want to identify with them and share with them.

He who is or has been deeply hurt has a RIGHT to be sure he is LOVED.

Wisdom is something that comes, little by little, through a lot of listening.
