My respectful study of other religions has not abated my reverence for or my faith in the Hindu scriptures.

Happiness eludes us if we run after it.

The first condition of humaneness is a little humility and a little diffidence about the correctness of one's conduct and a little receptiveness.

No one can ride on the back of a man unless it is bent.

I was a coward. I used to be haunted by the fear of thieves, ghosts and serpents. I did not dare to stir out of doors at night. Darkness was a terror to me. It was almost impossible for me to sleep in the dark, as I would imagine ghosts coming from one direction, thieves from another and serpents from a third. I could not therefore bear to sleep without a light in the room.

You can only have lasting peace based on justice.

It is difficult, but not impossible, to conduct strictly honest business.
