Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
You can’t shake hands with a clenched fist.
Without action, you aren’t going anywhere.
We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.
Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.
Truth is not the exclusive property of any scripture.
The mind filled with truth will direct all its actions toward the end.
I own absolutely nothing. And since I made that decision one night, four things have enriched the world of my experiences; life, power, freedom and joy. If you want to possess those things, my friend, you too must go that way.
There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts.
The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.
A ‘No’ uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘Yes’ merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Friendship and loyalty require a concordance of souls such as is rarely found on earth. The only true and lasting friendship is that between people of equal orientation.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err.
