“Ultimate peace begins within; when we find peace within there will be no more conflict, no more occasion for war.

“While criticism or fear of punishment may restrain us from doing wrong, it does not make us wish to do right. Disregarding this simple fact is the great error into which parents and educators fall when they rely on these negative means of correction.
