Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.

Conflictcan be seen as a gift of energy, in which neither sideloses and a new dance is created.

If wecannot end our differences at least we can make the world safe for diversity.

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be won, through understanding. Our longingfor understandingis Eternal.

Tolerance that accepts merits as the most natural thing in World is the highest applause.

Due to circumstances beyond your control, you are master of your fateand captain of your soul.

Silenceis as full of potential wisdom and wit as the unshownmarble of great sculpture. The silent bear no witness against themselves.

Distancedoesn't matter. It is only the first step that is difficult.
