Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heart-ache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because se we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he gets desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive form the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up to discover what is already there.

'Impossible' is not a scientific term.

There is no hospitality like understanding.

Love is the strongest force the world possesses, yet it is the humblest imaginable.

Nirvana is the utter extinction of all that is base in us, all that is vicious in us. Nirvana is not like the black, dead peace of the grave, but the living peace, the living happiness of a soul which is conscious of itself and conscious of having found its own abode in the heart of the Eternal.

A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.

Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
