“Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes.”

Citizenship consists in the service of the country.

Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.

The only alternative to coexistence is codestruction.

Restraint does not mean weakness. It does not mean giving in.

No country or people who are slaves to dogma and dogmatic mentality can progress.

That great lover of peace, a man of giant stature who moulded, as few other men have done, the destinies of his age.

Unity must be of the mind and heart, a sense of belonging together and of facing together those who attack it.

Where freedom is menaced or justice threatened or where aggression takes place, we cannot be and shall not be neutral.

The art of a people is a true mirror of their minds.

People avoid action. Often because they are afraid of the consequences, for action means risk and danger. Danger seems terrible from a distance; it is not so bad if you have a close look at it

Those who boast are seldom the great.

Evil unchecked grows, evil tolerated poisons the whole system.

What we need is a generation of peace.

A man who is afraid will do anything.

Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes.

For the first time i began to think, consciously and deliberately of religion and other worlds. The Hindu religion especially went up in my estimation; not the ritual or ceremonial part, but it’s great books, the “Upnishads,” and the “Bhagavad Gita.”

There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.

The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.

I trust kids far more than I do adults. Kids give you the honest opinion. They tell the truth.

Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor morum over each other.

Never let other people’s opinions of you determine your destiny.

The world is mere change, and this life, opinion.

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.

It is better to change an opinion than to persist in a wrong one.
