The most destructive element in the human mind is fear. Fear creates aggressiveness.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings.

To have felt too much is to end in feeling nothing.

Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict - alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence.

Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism.
