It is clear that our society can improve only if the next generation is given the chance, through loving and intelligent education, to be better developed than the present one.

You would think that as you get older you would be more disciplined. As I get older I get less disciplined. I just play around!

Probably, the secret is to be less complicated. We of course love to make complications - look at the way we live. We have this tremendous amount of information, and probably it is really not so necessary. Maybe if you just drink water, you are kind to people and walk a little bit it's all done already. But we cannot resist this sophistication.

Since I was young my wish has been to die in perfect health - I mean to die with a body that is not destroyed by illness but a body that is consumed by its own long burning fire.

You can focus your mind. You can respect your body. All of that is important.

Healthy attention is to improve what can be improved and to accept what we cannot improve.

Age teaches us how to be more aware of other people's feelings.
