Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, later remarked that one’s inner life is the true Olympics. Life itself is an Olympics where we strive each day to better our own personal records.
From a healed, peaceful heart, humility is born; from humility, a willingness to listen to others is born; from a willingness to listen to others, mutual understanding is born; and from mutual understanding, a peaceful society will be born. Nonviolence is the highest form of humility; it is supreme courage.
