The older I grow, the more I see behind the idea of the Hindus that man is the greatest of all beings.

A man may be the greatest philosopher in the world but a child in RELIGION. When a man has developed a high state of spirituality he can understand that the kingdom of heaven is within him.

Love and charity for the whole human race, that is the test of true religiousness.

Business is business, that is, you must do everything promptly; delay and shuffling won't do.

Something cannot be made out of nothing. Nor can something be made to go back to nothing.

I must remark that what I mean by our religion working upon the nations outside of India comprises only the principles, the background, the foundation upon which that religion is built.

Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone can reform character.
