If your hate could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world.
Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
A world without love would be no world.
We want a world where life is preserved, and the quality of life is enriched for everybody, not only for the privileged.
We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.
The world owes nothing to any man, but every man owes something to the world.
The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.
One change of attitude would change everything. If everyone realized that it could be a beautiful world and said let’s not do these things anymore — let’s have fun.
You say you want a revolution, Well, you know, we all want to change the world… But when you talk about destruction, Don’t you know that you can count me out.

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.
Where the world ceases to be the scene of our personal hopes and wishes, where we face it as free beings admiring, asking, observing, there we enter the realm of Art and Science.
