My religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.

I do not want to live at the cost of the life even of a snake. I should let him bite me to death rather than kill him.

Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God's hands.

Personally, I hold that a man, who deliberately and intelligently takes a pledge and then breaks it, forfeits his manhood.

I refuse to buy from anybody anything however nice or beautiful if it interferes with my growth or injures those whom Nature has made my first care.

Simplicity is the essence of universality.

As a splendid palace deserted by its inmates looks like a ruin, so does a man without character, all his material belongings notwithstanding.
