"...it will be a peace which is independent of outer conditions and which is not based upon what present humanity defines as peace. The peace which lies ahead of the race is the peace of serenity and of joy - a serenity, based upon spiritual understanding."
 

"This is what you should do; love the Earth and sun and the animals, despite riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labour to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any many or number of men... re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss what insults your soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem."
 

Walt Whitman

"Cultivate an attitude of gratitude, of giving and forgiving. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself."

What lies before you and what lies behind you are tiny matters compared to what lies within you."
 

" . . it is important to understand, not intellectually but actually in your daily life, how you have built images about your wife, your husband, your neighbour, your child, your country, your leaders, your politicians, your gods--you have nothing but images. The images create the space between you and what you observe and in that space there is conflict, so what we are going to find out now together is whether it is possible to be free of the space we create, not only outside ourselves but in ourselves, the space which divides people in all their relationships. ."
 

"Beauty is the focus of the heart of love. It leads one to see the inherent goodness of the one unified life in every single expression of being. Sacrifice is the willing giving of oneself to this goodness, demonstrating the conviction that all is good, knowing that everything exists for good reason and serves the purpose of unity."
