It Is Impossible To Build One's Own

The Challenge Of Preventing Any Further Proliferation Of Nuclear Weapons Is Just Such A Trial In The Quest For World Peace, One That Cannot Be Achieved If We Are Defeated By A Sense Of Helplessness. The Crucial Element Is To Ensure That Any Struggle Against Evil Is Rooted Firmly In A Consciousness Of The Unity Of The Human Family, Something Only Gained Through The Mastery Of Our Own Inner Contradictions.

What May Look Like A Small Act Of Courage Is Courage Nevertheless. The Important Thing Is To Be Willing To Take A Step Forward.

You Must Not For One Instant Give Up The Effort To Build New Lives For Yourselves. Creativity Means To Push Open The Heavy, Groaning Doorway To Life.

To Possess Both Wisdom And Compassion Is The Heart Of Our Human Revolution. If You Have Wisdom Alone And Lack Compassion, It Will Be A Cold, Perverse Wisdom. If You Have Compassion Alone And Lack Wisdom, You Cannot Give Happiness To Others. You Are Even Likely To Lead Them In The Wrong Direction, And You Won't Be Able To Achieve Your Own Happiness.

The Course Of Our Lives Is Determined By How We React--what We Decide And What We Do--at The Darkest Of Times. The Nature Of That Response Determines A Person's True Worth And Greatness.
