What the two hands of the labourer can achieve, the capitalist will never get with all his gold and silver.

It is impossible to wait and weigh, in golden scales, the sentiments of prejudice and superstition that have gathered round the priests who are considered to be the custodians of Hinduism.
The golden rule to apply in all such cases is resolutely to refuse to have what millions cannot.
The golden way is to be friends with the world and to regard the whole human family as one.
Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye and everyone shall be blind
Satisfaction lies in the effort not the attainment. Full effort is full victory.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Be the change that you want to see in the world.
