Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
黑暗无法驱走黑暗,只有光可以;仇恨无法消除仇恨,只有爱能做到。
When someone is nasty, rude, hateful, or mean with you, pretend they have a disease. That makes it easier to have empathy toward them which can soften the conflict.
I've wanted one thing for my whole life - to be happy.
The soul is not a thing you can have. It is a way of being in the world.
The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure.
