India was the motherland of our race and Samskrit the mother of Europe 's languages...Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.

The time when you need to do something is when no one else is willing to do it, when people are saying it can't be done.

War is one of the constants of history, and it has not diminished with civilization or democracy.

There is no real philosophy until the mind turns around and examines itself.

Civilizations come and go; they conquer the earth and crumble into dust; but faith survives every desolation.

Cultivate your garden. Do not depend upon teachers to educate you... follow your own bent, pursue your curiosity bravely, express yourself, make your own harmony.

To seek, beneath the universal strife, the hidden harmony of things.
