“The greatest virtue is peace. Throughout the day, stop for a minute and ask yourself ‘How peaceful am I at this moment?’ If someone tries to make you peaceless, you mustn’t allow yourself to be peaceless, no. Instead, look for the virtues in everyone and pass these on to others. Remain very sweet and peaceful.”
