Everyone has choice when to and not to raise their voices: It's you who decides.

I used to think that having many material things would increase one's stock of happiness. I found that to be completely untrue. The trappings don't make the man at all.

The nicest thing is to open the newspapers and not to find yourself in them.

I'm sick of all these young people just boogeying around, wasting their lives, you know.

The response that comes from chanting is in the form of bliss, or spiritual happiness, which is a much higher taste than any happiness found here in the material world. That's why I say that the more you do it, the more you don't want to stop, because it feels so nice and peaceful.
