Be the change you want to see in the world.
All of your scholarship, all your study of Shakespeare and Wordsworth would be vain if at the same time you did not build your character and attain mastery over your thoughts and your actions
You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result
That action alone is just that does not harm either party to a dispute
God is continuously in action, without resting for a single moment.
My Gita tells me that evil can never result from a good action.
Your action expresses your priorities.
Priorities lie in your actions
Without devotion, action and knowledge are cold and dry and many even become shackles.
Under democracy, individual liberty of opinion and action is jealously guarded.
Pure motives can never justify impure or violent action.
Prayer presupposes faith. No prayer is in vain. Prayer is like any other action.
A nonviolent action accompanied by nonviolence in thought and word should never produce enduring violent reaction upon the opponent.
Nonviolent action without the co-operation of the heart and the head cannot produce the intended result.
