We always deceive ourselves twice about the people we love - first to their advantage, then to their disadvantage.

Let love flow so that it cleanses the world. Then man can live in peace, instead of the state of turmoil he has created through his past ways of life, with all those material interests and earthly ambitions.

The reason men oppose progress is not that they hate progress, but that they love inertia.

Love, we say, is life but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
