We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. 

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even capable of forming such opinions.

The only alternative to coexistence is codestruction.

We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?

I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun.

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

Home is where you feel at home and are treated well.
