“The end of life is not to be happy, nor to achieve pleasure and avoid pain, but to do the will of God, come what may.”

Be the peace you wish to see in the world.

Courage is an inner resolution to go forward despite obstacles

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

Without love, there is no reason to know anyone, for love will in the end connect us to our neighbors, our children and our hearts.

We are not makers of history. We are made by history.

Cowardice is submissive surrender to circumstances.

Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.

The day we see the truth and cease to speak is the day we begin to die.

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good.

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

If we do an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we will be a blind and toothless nation.

We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience.

He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.

If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.

One of the great undiscovered joys of life comes from doing everything one attempts to the best of one’s ability. The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement.

With no goals, no priorities, no life strategy of our own, we drift with the herd through an endless meadow of mediocrity, unable to break loose, to achieve even a small part of the dreams we once cherished.

Nothing limits achievement like small thinking; nothing expands possibilities like unleashed imagination.

Enthusiasm is the match that lights the candle of achievement.

Only when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our true potential.

You can choose to see your goal with 20/20 accuracy, and when you can see a goal that clearly, you can achieve it.
