In seperateness lies the world's great misery, in compassion lies the world's true strength.

Whoever counters the malicious with malice can never be free, but one who feels no maliciousness pacifies those who hate. Hate brings misery to humanity so the wise man knows no hatred

By compassion we make others' misery our own, and so, by relieving them, we relieve ourselves also

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

Inward calm cannot be maintained unless physical strength is constantly and intelligently replenished.

Violence is weakness. True strength comes not through brutality and savagery, but through tenderness, mercy and grace.
