If you realize that those who do mean things are psychologically ill, your feelings of anger will turn to feelings of pity.

The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace.

No one can find inner peace except by working, not in a self- centered way, but for the whole human family.

Be willing to face life squarely and get down beneath the surface of life where the verities and realities are to be found.

Were I to solve problems for others they would remain stagnant; they would never grow. It would be a great injustice to them. My approach is to help with cause rather than effect. When I help others, it is by instilling within them the inspiration to work out problems by themselves. If you feed a man a meal, you only feed him for a day-but if you teach a man to grow food, you feed him for a lifetime.

Most human beings only scratch the surface of their real potential. They have no idea what they're capable of.

Penance is the willingness to undergo hardships for the achievement of a good purpose. I was willing. But when hardships came I found myself lifted above them. Instead of hardship, I found a wonderful sense of peace and joy and conviction that I was following God's will. Blessings instead of hardships are showered upon me.
