Evil cannot be overcome by more evil. Evil can only be overcome by good. It is the lesson of the way of love.

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.

As I looked about the world, so much of it impoverished, I became increasingly uncomfortable about having so much while my brothers and sisters were starving. Finally I had to find another way. The turning point came when, in desperation and out of a very deep seeking for a meaningful way of life, I walked all one night through the woods. I came to a moonlit glade and prayed.

To attain inner peace you must actually give your life, not just your possessions. When you at last give your life - bringing into alignment your beliefs and the way you live then, and only then, can you begin to find inner peace.

A loving and kindly approach works between individuals, it works between groups and it would work between nations if nations had the courage to try it.

Evil can be helped to fade away more quickly if we remain in obedience to the Law of Love - evil must be overcome with good.

IN THE BEGINNING I undertook my walking not only to contact people, I undertook it as a prayer discipline to keep me concentrated on my prayer for peace... After the first few years the prayer discipline was completely unnecessary, because I had learned to pray without ceasing. I made the contact so thoroughly that into my prayer consciousness I put any condition or person in the world I am concerned about and the rest takes place automatically.
