No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.

Nothing has saddened me so much in life as the hardness of heart of educated people.

Learning and wisdom are superfluities, the surface glitter merely, but it is the heart that is the seat of all power.

It is an overflowing love, which seeks nothing in return. Theologians would say that it is the love of God operating in the human heart. And when one rises to love on this level, he is able to love the person who does the evil deed, while hating the deed that the person does.

See the good in people and help them.
