“Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.”

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow.

True change is within; leave the outside as it is.

The way to change others’ minds is with affection, and not anger.

Whether one is rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or nonbelieving, man or woman, black, white, or brown, we are all the same.

Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay.

An eye for an eye. We are all blind.

If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun.

The very purpose of our life is to seek happiness.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.

An open heart is an open mind.

If I am only happy for myself, many fewer chances for happiness. If I am happy when good things happen to other people, billions more chances to be happy!

A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. This is not just a dream, but a necessity.

It is not enough to be compassionate, we must act.

Human use, population, and technology have reached that certain stage where mother Earth no longer accepts our presence with silence.

We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.

Blame nobody else, do not commit the mistake of the ignorant.

It takes a lot more courage to let something go than it does to hang on to it, trying to make it better. Letting go doesn’t mean ignoring a situation. Letting go means accepting what is, exactly as it is, without fear, resistance, or a struggle for control.

Once a person stops searching for information and self-knowledge, ignorance sets in.

Be worried if no one is criticizing you. Your job in life is to ignore the 33% who will never like you and do your best to convince the 33% who don’t care either way to join the 33% who love you.

Men remain in ignorance as long as they hate, and they hate unjustly as long as they remain in ignorance.

Tried to give you warning, but everyone ignores me. Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody’s listening.

The main cause of poverty or financial struggle is fear and ignorance, not the economy or the government or the rich.
