"Love, the ideal, sounds simple but it is our greatest challenge and highest goal, for it requires one to be able to forgive, to nurture, to share, to guide, and to hope. Gandhi’s message is practical: how one can best live in this universe of God, on this planet, in harmony with nature, with fellow human beings and with oneself."
