if you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends, you talk to your enemies.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness;
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate;
only love can do that.
Hate multiplies hate,
violence multiplies violence,
and toughness multiplies toughness
in a descending spiral of destruction....
The chain reaction of evil --
hate begetting hate,
wars producing more wars --
must be broken,
or we shall be plunged
into the dark abyss of annihilation.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.

What kind of victory is it when someone is left defeated?

Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle . . . (or) Einstein's Theory of Relativity. . . (or) the Second Theory of Thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that our aim is too low and we reach it.

When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters--one represents danger, and the other represents opportunity.

Time heals all wounds; love speeds up the process.

Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing thst is worth knowing can be taught.
