"Mencoba mengubah dunia sama seperti mencoba meluruskan ekor anjing yang keriting. Cobalah sebisa mungkin, ia masih akan kembali ke ikal alami. Tangan Anda akan menjadi lebih kuat dari latihan mencoba meluruskan ekor keriting. Meskipun Anda max 'tidak mampu mengubah dunia, Anda akan memperoleh lebih banyak kekuatan spiritual di dalam - dan itu saja akan membuat perbedaan di dunia."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Trying to change the world is like trying to straighten the curly tail of a dog. Try as you might, it will still go hack to its natural curl. Your hands will become stronger from the exercise of trying to straighten the curly tail. Although you max' not he able to change the world, you would have acquired more spiritual strength within - and that alone will make a difference in the world.
