The highest form of human intelligence is to observe yourself without judgment.
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.
I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.
Hear with your ears, that which is the sovereign good. With a clear mind look upon the two sides, between which each man must choose for himself. Watchful beforehand that the great test may be accomplished in our favour.
Lighten up on yourself. No one is perfect. Gently accept your humanness.
No matter what country or culture you’re from, you always believe in friendship, you always believe in human values, and you always believe in peace.
A man who is averse to harming even the wind knows the sorrow of all living things.
If there is to be a human future, we must bring ourselves into balanced relationship with one another and the Earth. This requires building economies with the heart.
