Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.
Self-defense...is the only honourable course where there is unreadiness for self-immolation.
I know that man who forsakes Truth can forsake his country and his nearest and dearest ones.
Religion is one tree with many branches. As branches, you may say, religions are many, but as a tree, religion is only one.

The person who discovered the law of love was a far greater scientist than any of our modern scientists. Only our explorations have not gone far enough and so it is not possible for everyone to see all its workings.
Seek not greater wealth, but simpler pleasure; not higher fortune, but deeper felicity.
One man cannot do right in one department of life whilst he is occupied in doing wrong in any other department. Life is one indivisible whole

As long as the superstition that people should obey unjust laws exists, so long will slavery exist
To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?
The earth has everything for all human needs, but nothing for his greed.
