“Every coin has two sides. Every mountain has a valley. For every strength there is a weakness. Every up has a down. For every in there is an out. For every height there is a depth. Life itself is a mosaic of light and dark. And every human is a study in opposites, a kaleidoscope of good and bad, positive and negative, hopes and losses, dreams and disappointments, successes and failures, courage and fear, confidence and insecurity, power and vulnerability. We do not live in a homogeneous world. We live in a world of brilliant contrasts, vivid diversity, striking polarity, and eloquent disparity…a stunning array of sometimes gorgeous, sometimes glaring, always fascinating differences.”

“The job of each generation is to solve more problems than they create and to lift up the next generation to be better than the last. Simply repeating the past does neither.”

“Want world peace?Be peaceful. Think the world needs more kindness?Be kind. Want a better world?Be a better person. #wearetheworld”

“Peacemakers who challenge the prevailing concept of peace achieved by violence are often, ironically, called disturbers of the peace. That is only true if peace is defined as an uneasy ceasefire in a world dominated by the corrupt, a tenuous subjugation of the weak by the powerful, a hurting humanity suffering silently en mass for the profit of the bloated few. If, though, peace is defined as freedom, equality, safety, health, opportunity, and a voice for all, then we, the peacemakers, aren’t disturbers of the peace. We are purveyors of peace because we are disturbers of the status quo.”

“She is fragile as the morning dewmelting in the warmth of a child’s smile;stirring at the lonely, lovely waft of a butterfly’s wings;tender as the curve of a wildflower petal.She is fierce as a summer stormnow raging against the fiery sky;now raining tears to soothe the sun-scorched earth.She is soft as a midnight breezeswaying to the sound of waves breakingon distant shores;whispering comfort to a worldsteeped in the dark night of inhumanity.She is brilliant as the rising Phoenixlifting the suffering from the ashes; her own suffering woven into wings of fire in the long watches of the night.She is serene and turbulent as the silvered water hiding currents unknown beneath the gentle gaze of a human who has walked a thousand miles and still has more to go.”

“To live free is to liberate yourself from all fears….”

“The insane human mind is the greatest scientific instrument known to mankind.”

“Let me live for eternity as a friendly ever-evolving elder brother of humanity, not as the rugged, barbarian, uncivilized and unchanging ideology.”

“People would rather prefer blaming their crimes on a third party than taking responsibility upon themselves… It is their nature.”

“El ser humano puede sentirse solo a pesar del amor de muchos, porque para nadie es realmente el “más querido”.”

“A hard heart won’t give you an easy life”

“O Heavenly Children, the stories you have concocted in God’s name have angered Him; for he would never instigate war between brothers, or encourage tribes to harbor resentment towards one another. He prefers the man who loves over the one who hates. And the man who spreads kindness, peace and knowledge, over the one who spreads lies, fear and terror — and misuses His name.”

“It’s simple, it’s not that simple; or life is simple, but the things in it are not. When a man does not understand it, he tends to inflate it. When he does, he tends to deflate it. In the end, neither images are fully accurate.”

“In stating these matters, I speak an open and disinterested language, dictated by no passion but that of humanity. To me, who have not only refused offers, because I thought them improper, but have declined rewards I might with reputation have accepted, it is no wonder that meanness and imposition appear disgustful. Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good.”

“We need to spread more seeds and fill this Planet with love to be surrounded by flowers just everywhere! It starts by simply opening up our hearts and hands to one another. It’s in simple things where true Happiness may flourish.”
