I have found that the greatest degree of inner peace comes from cultivating love and compassion.

“Peace must first be developed within an individual. And I believe that love, compassion, and altruism are the fundamental basis for peace. Once these qualities are developed within an individual, he or she is then able to create an atmosphere of peace and harmony. This atmosphere can be expanded and extended from the individual to his family, from the family to the community and eventually to the whole world.”
“To seek solitude like a wild animal. That is my only ambition.”
“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.""Laughter is good for thinking because when people laugh, it is easier for them to admit new ideas to their minds.”

“Approach your own inner life with a loving quality that accepts who you are without trying to change who you are.”
“How wonderful to go beyond wanting and fearing in your relationships. Love does not want or fear anything.”
“Don't look for any other state than the one you are in now; otherwise, you will set up inner conflict and unconscious resistance. Forgive yourself for not being at peace. The moment you completely accept your non-peace, your non-peace becomes transmuted into peace. Anything you accept fully will get you there, will take you into peace. This is the miracle of surrender.”

“Hours fly,Flowers die:New days,New ways:Pass by!Love stays.”
“Whatever woman may cast her lot with mine, should any ever do so, it is my intention to do all in my power to make her happy and contented; and there is nothing I can imagine that would make me more unhappy than to fail in the effort.”
“There can be no excess to love, none to knowledge, none to beauty.”
