I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future, but only in the present can I act. The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.

A first rate soup is better than a second rate painting.

The most dangerous untruths are truths slightly distorted.

Never apologise for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologise for the truth.

The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.

Peace at home is peace in the country. Peace in the country is peace in the world.

If someone thinks that peace and love are just a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's a problem. Peace and love are eternal.

Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.

It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.

It isn't enough to talk about peace; one must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it; one must work at it.
