The way to peace, harmony and balance for the planet is through the loving kindness of each individual heart.

The word "love" in its broadest sense embraces all that is good in this world: kindness, empathy, caring, compassion, generosity, cooperation, forgiveness, understanding, respect, appreciation, gratitude and sacrifice. Love is the great healing power in the world. When you make your life all about love, you will also find peace and contentment.

As long as we insist on hanging on to our hate, the world will not know peace.

Only through love will we find our way to create a world worthy of our children and our grandchildren.

By dedicating ourselves to peace, understanding, kindness and compassion, we do our part to heal the world.

While we cannot close our eyes to what is happening around us, it is important for each of us as individuals to refuse to hate another human being and commit to compassion, love, peace and nonviolence in the world. In becoming aware and resistant to evil, we should be wary of becoming part of the evil ourselves.

We are the collective creator of our own agony. It is time for a re-awakening of consciousness when we recognize the best in ourselves and overcome the worst.

We have listened to the voices of hate, the voices of selfish unreason for far too long. Only the voices of peace will lead us where we need to be.

Love doesn't make bullets. It doesn't drop bombs. Only hate does that - driven by fear.
