“Peace requires the simple but powerful recognition that what we have in common as human beings is more important and crucial than what divides us.”
Sargent Shriver

“The most important thing that I know about living is love. Nothing surpasses the benefits received by a human being who makes compassion and love the objective of his or her life. For it is only by compassion and love that anyone fulfills successfully their own life’s journey. Nothing equals love.”
Sargent Shriver

“The most important thing that I know about living is love. Nothing surpasses...a human being who makes compassion and love the objective of his or her life. For it is only by compassion and love that anyone fulfills successfully their own life’s journey.”
