"I believe that unconditional love will have the final word in reality.

Hatred paralyses life; love releases it.

Hatred confuses life: love harmonizes it.

Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.

I have decided to stick with love.

Hate is too great a burden to bear.

Darkness can not drive out darkness; only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Everybody can be great because anybody can serve.

You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

Tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.

Do to us what you will and we shall continue to love you...Love."
