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. #<Author:0x00007f5720704cb0>
PEACE
Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings. #<Author:0x00007f5720738c40>

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. #<Author:0x00007f5720781e90>
OPTIMISM
Don't ever give up. Don't ever give in. Don't ever stop trying. Don't ever sell out. And if you find yourself succumbing to one of the above for a brief moment, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, whisper a prayer, and start where you left off. But never, ever, ever give up. #<Author:0x00007f57207c9560>

Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all. #<Author:0x00007f5720874f50>
EDUCATION
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. #<Author:0x00007f57208d9838>
CONNECTING
A smile is the universal welcome. #<Author:0x00007f5720935048>
SMILE
We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself. #<Author:0x00007f572099fb78>
JOY
My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together. #<Author:0x00007f57209d2a50>
UNITY
Then, one day, when you least expect it, the great adventure finds you. #<Author:0x00007f5720a2c4d8>
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
Ask not what your teammates can do for you. Ask what you can do for your teammates. #<Author:0x00007f5720a92cd8>
