Every War, When Viewed From The Undistorted

Youthfulness Is Not Determined By Age. It Is Determined By One's Life Force. One Who Possesses Hope Is Forever Young. One Who Continually Advances Is Forever Beautiful.

There Is No One As Strong As A Person Whose Heart Is Always Filled With Gratitude.

Rather Than Turning Away From The Staggering Scale And Depth Of Misery Caused By War, We Must Strive To Develop Our Capacity To Empathize And Feel The Sufferings Of Others.

Even Places That Have Been Shrouded In Darkness For Billions Of Years Can Be Illuminated. Even A Stone From The Bottom Of A River Can Be Used To Produce Fire. Our Present Sufferings, No Matter How Dark, Have Certainly Not Continued For Billions Of Years--nor Will They Linger Forever. The Sun Will Definitely Rise. In Fact, Its Ascent Has Already Begun.
