Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.

A learned person will become noble only when he or she has put into real practice what has been learned, instead of mere words.

I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.

On the other hand, truth remains constant and will ultimately prevail.
