Peace does not mean an absence of conflicts. Differences will always be there. Peace means solving these differences through peaceful means - through dialogue, education, knowledge, and humane ways.

If there is love, there is hope that one may have real families, real brotherhood, real equanimity, real peace. If the love within your mind is lost and you see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or education or material comfort you have, only suffering and confusion will ensue.

The true essence of humankind is kindness. There are other qualities which come from education or knowledge, but it is essential, if one wishes to be a genuine human being and impart satisfying meaning to one's existence, to have a good heart.

I believe there exists, & I feel within me, an instinct for the truth, or knowledge or discovery, of something of the same nature as the instinct of virtue, & that our having such an instinct is reason enough for scientific researches without any practical results ever ensuing from them.

The object of education was to produce a desire to serve the community as a whole and to apply the knowledge gained not only for personal but for public welfare.

It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.
