To seek solitude like a wild animal. That is my only ambition.

One has to try to develop one's inner feelings, which can be done simply by training one's mind. This is a priceless human asset and one you don't have to pay income tax on!

Anger, hatred and jealousy never solve problems, only affection, concern and respect can do that.

If humanity is to survive, happiness and inner balance are crucial. Otherwise the lives of our children and their children are more likely to be unhappy, desperate and short. Material development certainly contributes to happiness - to some extent - and a comfortable way of life. But this is not sufficient. To achieve a deeper level of happiness we cannot neglect our inner development.

Children are our greatest untapped resource.

I do not understand men. They spend their lives to use their health to make money and then they spend their money to restore their health.

If we can cultivate a concern for others, keeping in mind the oneness of humanity, we can build a more compassionate world.
