“I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse.”

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.

The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.

If you want peace in your life, first, make peace with yourself.

Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity, and stumble from defeat to defeat.

I have often regretted my speech, never my silence.

Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves.
