"The ultimate source of comfort and peace is within ourselves."
"Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures."
"Peace does not mean an absence of conflicts; differences will always be there. Peace means solving these differences through peaceful means; through dialogue, education, knowledge; and through humane ways."
"Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquility and happiness we all seek."
