If you want to change the world, start with yourself.

If you take care of your immediate surroundings, the universe will take care of itself.

Whenever I see an erring man, I say to myself I have also erred; when I see a lustful man I say to myself, so was I once; and in this way I feel kinship with everyone in the world and feel that I cannot be happy without the humblest of us being happy.

Prayer from the heart can achieve what nothing else can in the world.

True beauty consists of purity of heart.

Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time.

Any imposition from without means compulsion. Such compulsion is repugnant to religion.
