If you did not face problems you would just drift through life. It is through solving problems in accordance with the highest light we have that inner growth is attained.

All who act upon their highest motivations become a power for good. Know that every right thing you do - every good word you say - every positive thought you think - has a good effect.

To the world I may seem very poor, walking penniless and wearing or carrying in my pockets my only material possessions, but I am really very rich in blessings which no amount of money could buy - health and happiness and inner peace.

Believing that war is contrary to the will of God and to common sense, and feeling that the way of peace is the way of love, I shall work for peace by using the way of love myself, by helping any group I am part of to use it, by helping the nation of which I am a citizen to use it, by helping the United Nations to use it, and by praying that the way of love be used all over the world.

When you do something for world peace, peace among groups, peace among individuals, or your own inner peace, you improve the total peace picture.

Just as you cannot receive without giving, so neither can you give without receiving.

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.
