Live simply so others may simply live.

The beginning of prayer is silence.

We must never get into the habit of being preoccupied with the future. There is no reason to do so. God is there.

Let us be very sincere in our dealings with each other and have the courage to accept each other as we are.

We must free ourselves to be filled by God. Even God cannot fill what is full.

Peace and war begin at home. If we truly want peace in the world, let us begin by loving one another in our own families. If we want to spread joy, we need for every family to have joy.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.
