* Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love.
* Nobody can hurt me without my permission. * There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
* The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong
* Non-violence is a weapon of the strong
* Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.
* True art takes note not merely of form but also of what lies behind.
* A coward is incapable of exhibiting love.. it is the prerogative of the brave.
* A life of sacrifice is the pinnacle of art, and is full of true joy.
* Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of the truth.
* First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
* To a true artist only that face is beautiful which, quite apart from its exterior, shines with the truth within the soul.
* The beauty of poetry is that the creation transcends the poet.
