My opposition to the socialist and the other consists in attacking violence as a means of effecting any lasting reform.

He who gives up action falls. He who gives up the reward rises. But renunciation of fruit in no way means indifference to the result.

Responsibility will mellow and sober the youth and prepare them, for the burden they must discharge.

I have naturally formed the habit of restraining my thoughts. A thoughtless word hardly ever escaped my tongue or pen. Experience has taught me that silence is part of the spiritual discipline of a votary of truth. We find so many people impatient to talk. All this talking can hardly be said to be of any benefit to the world. It is so much waste of time. My shyness has been in reality my shield and buckler. It has allowed me to grow. It has helped me in my discernment of truth.

God has given us only a limited sphere of action and a limited vision.

Poverty is the greatest violence.

Simplicity is the essence of universality.
