Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought.

Dance until you shatter yourself.

There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

I should be suspicious of what I want.

My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.

 At times, life is hard, as hard as crucible steel. It has its bleak and painful moments. Like the ever flowing water of a river, life has its moments of drought and its moments of flood.

What good does it do to sit at the counter when you cannot afford a hamburger?

The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what is important.

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’

There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.

The silence of the good people is more dangerous than the brutaliy of the bad people.

The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.

To ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it.

The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.

Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.

War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.

We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.

Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.

The difference between a dreamer and a visionary is that a dreamer has his eyes closed and a visionary has his eyes open.

The best way to solve any problem is to remove its cause.
