“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.”

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

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

“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.”

“With love and patience, nothing is impossible. ”

“How aware are we of our own inner life, our spirituality-something so intangible yet so priceless? How much effort do we make to perceive that which is not obvious, which can neither be seen nor heard? I believe the exploration and enrichment of the human spirit is what determines our very humanity. Such enrichment provides an inner compass that can lead civilizations to greatness.”

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