*When an argument flares up, the wise man quenches it with silence.
*Nobody can hurt me without my permission.
*Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.
*The wise sees knowledge and action as one; they see truly.
*Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes.
*I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
*There has never been a time when you and I have not existed, nor will there be a time when we will cease to exist. As the same person inhabits the body through childhood, youth, and old age, so too at the time of death he attains another body. The wise are not deluded by these changes.
*A man's own self is his friend. A man's own self is his foe.
*Wise men are not always silent, but they know when to be.
*You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are your friends.
*However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?
*Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.
*We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
*A true friend laughs at your stories even when they're not so good, and sympathizes with your troubles even when they're not so bad.
*If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
*Sometimes I lie awake at night, and ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night'.
*Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.
*Religion is not going to church, or putting marks on the forehead, or dressing in a peculiar fashion; you may paint yourselves in all the colours of the rainbow, but if the heart has not been opened, if you have not realised God, it is all vain. If one has the colour of the heart, he does not want any external colour. That is the true religious realisation.
*A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.
*The mind itself is maya at play.
Swami Chinmayananda
*The tragedy of human history is that there is decreasing happiness in the midst of increasing comforts.
Swami Chinmayananda
*Success doesn't mean the absence of failures; it means the attainment of ultimate objectives. It means winning the war, not every battle
Edwin Bliss
*The only constant in this world is change.
Gita
*One who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is intelligent among men
Bhagvad Gita-Chapter IV, Verse 18
*To save a family, abandon a man; to save the village, abandon a family; to save the country, abandon a village; to save the soul, abandon the earth.
Vidura quoting Kavya (The Book of the Assembly Hall)
*Discontent is the root of fortune.
Duryodhana (The Book of the Assembly Hall)
*Revenge is not always better, but neither is forgiveness; learn to know them both, son, so that there is no problem.
Prahlada (quoted by Draupadi) (The Book of the Forest)
*A grey head does not make an elder...not by years, not by grey hairs, not by riches or many relations did the seers make the Law: He is great to us who has learning.
Astavakra (The Book of the Forest)
*Cleverness does not always lead to gain nor stupidity to poverty.
Vidura (The Book of the Effort)
*He is a fool that practises truth without knowing the difference between truth and falsehood.
Krishna to Arjuna (The Book of Karna)
*One should practise what one considers to be one's duty, guided by reasons, instead of blindly following the practices of the world.
Tuladhara, the mechant to the Brahman Jajali (The Book of Peace)
*If one can learn how to listen rightly, one has learned the deepest secret of meditation.
*Simplicity of character is the natural result of profound thought.
*The really happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery while on a detour.
Anonymous
*Many people lack a spiritual belief system that is void with obsessions about celebrities. The celebrities are raised to the rank of gods, and these earthly gods will always fail the expectations the masses have set for them. The cycle runs thusly; adoration turns to obsession turns to disappointment, and from disappointment it is just a short emotional jump to contempt.
Starbucks Cup
*An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
Gandhi
*My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.
Indira Gandhi
*Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe anything merely on the authority of teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
Buddha
*The thought manifests as the word; the word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.
Buddha
*I have often regretted my speech, never my silence.
Publilius Syrus
*You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
Swami Vivekananda
*We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
Swami Vivekananda
*To devote your life to the good of all and to the happiness of all is religion. Whatever you do for your own sake is not religion.
Swami Vivekananda
*The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
Swami Vivekananda
*Some smile to forget, some forget to smile.
Swami Tejomayananda
*There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashmed to worry about anything whatsoeve
Gandhi
*You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.
Gandhi
*Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words then words without a heart.
Gandhi
*Naagaro, tagaro, taavdo-dharma bas atloj chhe? Naagaro-be waqt aarti karvani, tagaro-mota mota mandir bandhvana, ane taavdo-Thakorji ne jamadi ane suvadi devana.
