If you do nothing there will be no results
There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
An error can never become true however many times you repeat it. The truth can never be wrong, even if no one hears it.
The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. Freedom and slavery are mental states.
Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between individuals.
Poverty is the worst form of violence.
Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.

A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.
A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.
People say true friends must always hold hands, but true friends don't need to hold hands because they know the other hand will always be there.
I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and that also that all had some error in them, and while I hold by my own religion, I should hold other religions as dear as Hinduism. So we can only pray, if we were Hindus, not that a Christian should become a Hindu; but our innermost prayer should be that a Hindu should become a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, and a Christian a better Christian.
I do feel that spiritual progress does demand at some stage that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants.
Contraceptive methods are like putting a premium on vice. It makes men and women reckless... As it is, man has sufficiently degraded woman for his lust, and [contraception] , no matter how well meaning the advocates may be, will still further degrade her.
