An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
Be the change that you want to see in the world.
God cannot be realized through the intellect. Intellect can lead one to a certain extent and no further. It is a matter of faith and experience derived from that faith.
Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
Love never claims, it ever gives; love never suffers, never resents, never revenges itself. Where there is love there is life; hatred leads to destruction.
Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

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.
When you are right,you have no need to be angry. When you are wrong, you have no right to be angry.
Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.

Those who are truthful, nonviolent and brave do not cease to be so because of the stupidity of their leader.
