"The self cannot be self without other..." - Quote by Martin Luther King Jr

“It is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of high maturity, to rise to the level of self-criticism.”

“A second way that oppressed people sometimes deal with oppression is to resort to physical violence and corroding hatred.”

“The difference between a dreamer and a visionary is that a dreamer has his eyes closed and a visionary has his eyes open”

“A true friend is a sort of second self.”

“Learn to be one with who you are in Reality, and the waves of a thousand passing worlds cannot wash you away.”

“There is a false love that will make you something you are not.”

“It's not what you get out of life that counts. Break your mirrors! In our society that is so self-absorbed, begin to look less at yourself and more at each other. you'll get more satisfaction from having improved your neighborhood, your town, your state, your country, and your fellow human beings than you'll ever get from your muscles, your figure, your automobile, your house, or your credit rating.”

“The question of real, lasting world peace concerns human beings, so basic human feelings are also at its roots. Through inner peace, genuine world peace can be achieved. In this the importance of individual responsibility is quite clear; an atmosphere of peace must first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include our families, our communities, and ultimately the whole planet.”

“But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people--first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy.”
