QUOTES

MAHATMA GANDHI-

1- Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

2- Hate the sin, love the sinner.

3- I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.

4- An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

5- Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right.

6- Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.

7- What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?

8- You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

9- The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

10- I want freedom for the full expression of my personality.

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA-

1- If the mind is intensely eager, everything can be accomplished—mountains can be crumbled into atoms.

2-  Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.  

3- Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succor you want is within yourself. Therefore make your own future.

4- Come out into the universe of Light. Everything in the universe is yours, stretch out your arms and embrace it with love. If you every felt you wanted to do that, you have felt God.

 

5-  All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind. 

6-  There is no help for you outside of yourself; you are the creator of the universe. Like the silkworm you have built a cocoon around yourself…. Burst your own cocoon and come out aw the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul. Then alone you will see Truth. 

7-  It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thought make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light. First, believe in this world, that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you do not understand it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!  

8-    Hold to the idea, “I am not the mind, I see that I am thinking, I am watching my mind act,” and each day the identification of yourself with thoughts and feelings will grow less, until at last you can entirely separate yourself from the mind and actually know it to be apart from yourself. 

9- All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore love for love’s sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live. 

10- Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth. 

ALBERT EINSTEIN-

1- Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.

2- Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

3- Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience.

4- Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.

5- I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

6- I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.

7- I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.

8- Imagination is more important than knowledge...

9- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

10- The important thing is not to stop questioning.
