“Faith is to fear nothing, to stand unswayed, the power to surmount any obstacle.”

“The heart is what is important." There is nothing more vulnerable, nothing more corruptible than the human mind; nor is there anything as powerful, steadfast and ennobling.”

“With love and patience, nothing is impossible. ”

“Human beings are inherently endowed with the power to bring out the best possible results from the worst possible circumstances.”

“It is much more valuable to look for the strength in others. You can gain nothing by criticizing their imperfections.”

“Reality is harsh. It can be cruel and ugly. Yet no matter how much we grieve over our environment and circumstances nothing will change. What is important is not to be defeated, to forge ahead bravely. If we do this, a path will open before us.”

“The human spirit is as expansive as the cosmos. This is why it is so tragic to belittle yourself or to question your worth. No matter what happens, continue to push back the boundaries of your inner life. The confidence to prevail over any problem, the strength to overcome adversity and unbounded hope — all reside within you.”
