You are not living, you are surviving.
By far the single greatest danger facing humankind - in fact, all living beings on our planet - is the threat of nuclear destruction.
The problems we face today, violent conflicts, destruction of nature, poverty, hunger and so on, are human-created problems which can be resolved through human effort, understanding and the development of a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood. We need to cultivate a universal responsibility for one another and the planet we share.
We are driven by self-interest, it’s necessary to survive. But we need wise self-interest that is generous and co-operative, taking others’ interests into account. Co-operation comes from friendship, friendship comes from trust, and trust comes from kind-heartedness. Once you have a genuine sense of concern for others, there’s no room for cheating, bullying or exploitation.
The way to change others' minds is with affection, and not anger.
True friendship develops not as a result of money or power but on the basis of genuine human affection.
A simple smile. That's the start of opening your heart and being compassionate to others.
It is not wise to neglect the present for the future, for who knows what the future will be?
NATO is obsolete, because it's not taking care of terror.
I don't want to tell people what to think. I just want to show people what I think.
One of the greatest human longings is to be close to someone.
