About individual's character and thoughts:
-
Health is real wealth, not pieces of gold and silver.
-
Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory!
-
Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.
-
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony
-
There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It super cedes all other courts.
-
Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.
-
I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.
About Religion and God:
-
My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realizing Him.
-
Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.
-
A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.
MISCELLANEOUS
-
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
-
To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.
-
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
-
We must be the change we wish to see.
-
There is a sufficiency in the world for every man's need but not for one man's greed.
-
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
