What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.

In whom there is no sympathy for living beings: know him as an outcast.

One is not called noble who harms living beings. By not harming living beings one is called noble.

Kindness should become the natural way of life, not the exception.

“Those who have failed to work toward the truth have missed the purpose of living.”

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.

One moment can change a day, one day can change a life and one life can change the world.

To support mother and father, to cherish wife and child and to have a simple livelihood; this is the good luck.

Purity or impurity depends on oneself. No one can purify another.

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance

“Avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.”

“Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.”

“The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There’s only one moment for you to live.”

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.

Ardently do today what must be done. Who knows? Tomorrow, death comes.

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

“The thing to do when one feels sure that he has said or done the right thing and is condemned, is to stand still and keep quiet. If he is right, time will show it.” 

“The longer I live and the more experience I have of the world, the more I am convinced that, after all, the one thing that is most worth living for-and dying for, if need be-is the opportunity of making someone else more happy.” 

“I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.” 

“Success is not to be measured by the position someone has reached in life, but the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed.”

“Education is not a thing apart from life—not a “system,” nor a philosophy; it is direct teaching how to live and how to work.”

No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward
