Evil Cannot Be Overcome By More Evil.

There Is Great Freedom In Simplicity Of Living.

If You Want To Serve The Universe, The Obvious Place To Begin Is Right Where You Are. That's Where I Began. I Looked At Every Situation I Came Into And Wondered, 'what Can I Do To Be Of Service In This Situation?' Sometimes There Was Nothing I Could Do, But Often There Was - A Helping Hand, A Word Of Cheer, A Pleasant Smile. Then, After I Had Given A Lot, A Most Wonderful Spiritual Receiving Began - Giving Me More To Give.

The Basic Cause Of All Our Difficulties Is Immaturity. That's Why I Talk So Much About Peace Within Ourselves As A Step Toward Peace In Our World. If We Were Mature, War Would Not Be Possible And Peace Would Be Assured. In Our Immaturity We Do Not Know The Laws Of The Universe, And We Think Evil Can Be Overcome By More Evil. One Symptom Of Our Immaturity Is Greed, Making It Difficult For Us To Learn The Simple Lesson Of Sharing.

Never Underestimate The Power Of A Loosely Knit Group Working For A Good Cause. All Of Us Who Work For Peace Together, All Of Us Who Pray For Peace Together, Are A Small Minority, But A Powerful Spiritual Fellowship. Our Power Is Beyond Our Numbers.

We Spend A Great Deal Of Time Telling God What We Think Should Be Done, And Not Enough Time Waiting In The Stillness For God To Tell Us What To Do.
