My philosophy is to do the best you can for somebody. Help. It's not just what do you for yourself. It's how you treat people decently. The golden rule. There isn't big anything better than the golden rule. It's in every major religion in one language or another.

It's one thing to be religious but it's another thing to make religion your policy.

I was told to challenge every spiritual teacher every world leader to utter the one sentence that no religion no political party and no nation on the face of the earth will dare utter: 'Ours is not a better way ours is merely another way.

We have enough religion to make us hate but not enough to make us love one another.

Whoever seeks to set one religion against another seeks to destroy all religion.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors interpreting them as facts then you are in trouble.

Whether you call it Buddhism or another religion self-discipline that's important. Self-discipline with awareness of consequences.

There are numerous cases of that where one of our writers discovers another writer whom he likes and we then take that book on. So it's a very close relationship. We can do that because we're so small.

In a relationship when things are really great you don't need to say anything and just enjoy the other person. Sometimes with a couple it gets dark and you don't know what to say and that silence can last all day. Other times you don't want to stop talking because you don't want to lose one another.

A relationship is like another job you know you have to work at it all the time.
