Nobody can hurt me without my permission

Nonviolence is a weapon of the strong

My life is my message.

Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

Where there is love there is life.

There is more to life than increasing its speed.

The day, water, sun, moon, night - I do not have to purchase these things with money.

It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

I will not allow others to walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

The future depends on what we do in the present.

The earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs but not every man's greed.

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words.

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
