I have striven not to laugh at human actions, not to weep at them, nor to hate them, but to understand them.

I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.

All human actions are equivalent and all are on principle doomed to failure.

'Tis human actions paint the chart of time.

The practice of peace and reconciliation is one of the most vital and artistic of human actions.
