“We have the potential to help people out of poverty, out of disease, out of slavery and out of conflict. Too often we turn the other way because we think there’s nothing we can do.”

At the end of the day, so many things that we hold so much value with, it just doesn’t even mean anything. I really try to stay focused on being really positive.

All treaties between great states cease to be binding when they come in conflict with the struggle for existence.

Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.

All things come into being by conflict of opposites.

Conflict cannot survive without your participation.

Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflicts.

I’m no longer afraid of conflict, and I don’t think conflict is a bad thing.
