We should never underestimate the great power of the way of love which reaches that spark of good in the other person, always there no matter how deeply buried, and the person is disarmed.

Ultimate peace begins within; when we find peace within there will be no more conflict, nor more occasion for war.

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.

I learned about forty years ago that money and things wouldn't make people happy. And this has been confirmed many times. I have met many millionaires. They had one thing in common. None of them were happy....I realize that if you don't have enough you won't be happy. Neither are you happy if you have too much. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest.

I shall not accept more than I need while others in the world have less than they need.

Real peace is more than the absence of war; it is an absence of the causes of war.

Life is a series of tests; but if you pass your tests, you look back upon them as good experiences.
