Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared. –Buddha

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. –Ralph Waldo Emerson

The secret of success in life of each spiritual prophet was humility and humbleness and the burning desire and urge to surrender his own personality or self into the common cause of human progress. –Alfred J. Parker

The universe cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written.It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. –Galileo Galilei
