He who runs to the doctor, vaidya, or hakim for every little ailment, and swallows all kinds of vegetable and mineral drugs, not only curtails his life, but by becoming the slave of his body instead of remaining its master, loses self-control, and ceases to be a man.

Life becomes livable only to the extent that death is treated as a friend, never as an enemy.

Cowardice is not a sign of belief in God.

God answers prayer in His own way, not ours.

The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.

No man could look upon another as his enemy, unless he first became his own enemy.

If light can come out of darkness, then alone can love emerge from hatred.
