“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.”

Nonviolence is a weapon of the strong.

Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.

The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful then a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

A thousand candles can be lighted from the flame of one candle.

Truth never damages a cause that is just.

Where there is love there is life.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won.

I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

There is no ‘way to peace,’ there is only ‘peace.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilisation.

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

God has no religion.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God.

I’m just a believer in keeping all of the creative brain cells moving and working even when you’re not working because the inevitable loneliness and boring drought in the actor’s world, it can eat you alive.

Do not believe that you alone can be right.The man who thinks that,The man who maintains that only he has the power To reason correctly, the gift to speak, the soul-A man like that, when you know him, turns out empty.

Imagining anything is the first step toward creating it. Believing in a true self is what allows a true self to be born.

Of the gods we believe, and of men we know, that by a necessary law of their nature they rule wherever they can.

I believe a unique core self is born into every human being; the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.

My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.

Having people wait outside of my house sort of gives me a panic attack. I’m a believer in the concept that people should not be followed and photographed everywhere.
