“Instead of building castles against your enemies, build bridges for them to come to you!”

“You build a thousand castles, a thousand sanctuaries, you are nothing; you build a library, you are everything!”

“With stones, you can build walls to separate people or build bridges to unite them! Do the second thing in the name of ethics and honour, for the glory of love and goodness!”

“Life is the art of finding or building a bridge with a great determination every time you come across a precipice!”

“Sometimes in life it is most wise to behave like a bridge: Don’t judge the person who comes to you; let him come and pass! Behave like a bridge!”

“Every bridge is a holy saint; it helps everyone who comes to him and protects them from the precipices!”

“Hate is your enemy; you must defeat it! Anger is your enemy; you must defeat it! Violence is your enemy; you must defeat it! Death is your enemy; you must defeat it! Know well your real enemies!”
