| In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision. |
| Hard times build determination and inner strength. |
| We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us, and make us kinder. We always have the choice. |
| Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquility and happiness we all seek. |
| We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection. |
| The planet does not need more 'successful people'. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds. |
| Changing the world is up to us. If each of us tries, the next generation may see a happier, more peaceful world emerge. |
| Compassion is what makes our lives meaningful. |
| One of the secrets of inner peace is the practice of compassion. |
| Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions. |
