Pay particular attention to your health, but too much coddling of the body will, on the contrary, also spoil the health.

There cannot be any form unless it is the result of force and matter; and all combinations must dissolve.

Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by talking about his fault; you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well.

"Learn good knowledge with all devotion from the lowest caste. Learn the way to freedom, even if it comes from a Pariah, by serving him. If a woman is a jewel, take her in marriage even if she comes from a low family of the lowest caste." Such is the law laid down by our great and peerless legislator, the divine Manu.

Give up the idea that by ruling over others you can do any good to them. But you can do just as much as you can in the case of the plant: you can supply the growing seed with the materials for the making up of its body, bringing to it the earth, the water, the air, that it wants. It will take all that it wants by its own nature, it will assimilate and grow by its own nature.

Every soul is destined to be perfect, and every being, in the end, will attain the state of perfection.

Marriage is not for individual happiness, but for the welfare of the nation and the caste.
