More than once I have been humiliated by my resemblance to God the father; He is always longing for the love of His children and trying to get it on the cheapest and laziest terms He can invent.

India has two million gods, and worships them all. In religion all other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire.

What do you think of the human mind? I mean, in case you think there is a human mind.

It is a worthy thing to fight for one's freedom; it is another sight finer to fight for another man's.

It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions. Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made he (man) is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one...that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.

All good things arrive unto them that wait - and don't die in the meantime.

There are no grades of vanity; there are only grades of ability in concealing it.
