“Learning to earn a living is only half the job. The other half is to make life worthwhile and meaningful.”

Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very essence of life contained in them.

You must be a lotus, unfolding its petals when the sun rises in the sky, unaffected by the slush where it is born or even the water which sustains it!

No joy can equal the joy of serving others.

Look out into the universe and contemplate the glory of God. Observe the stars, millions of them, twinkling in the night sky, all with a message of unity, part of the very nature of God.

Education has to cultivate humility and discipline, but today it is yielding a harvest of pride and envy.

Education must be orientated towards the attainment of character for leading clean simple lives.

The learned man’s life itself shines as the message for mankind.

I am the slave of those who hunger and thirst after me and treat everything else as unimportant.

Life is a song-sing it. Life is a game-play it. Life is a challenge-meet it. Life is a dream-realize it. Life is a sacrifice-offer it. Life is love-enjoy it.

Real education should enable one to utilise the knowledge one has acquired to meet the challenges of life and to make all human beings happy as far as possible.

Education has to endow you with an eagerness to surrender.

College education gives you the chance to earn money and live thereupon. But, umless it destroys certain illusions that are nourished by the common level of mankind, your lives will not be happy.

Education should serve to enlarge the vision and broaden the outlook of the people.

The universe is a great university.

It is only in the depths of silence that the voice of God can be heard.

Science without discrimination Human existence without discipline Friendship without gratitude Music without melody A society without morality and justice Cannot be of benefit to the people.

To feel valued, to know, even if only once in a while, that you can do a job well is an absolutely marvelous feeling.

I’ve worked in construction, in a factory sewing clothes. I also sold flowers and doughnuts – just odd jobs to try to make 10 pesos, which is equivalent to 20 cents.

My first job was working for my dad. He was a used-car dealer, and I used to wash the cars down, clean them out, and so on. I would do stuff for him pretty much every day. It was quite a good job, to be honest.

I find what I do for a living really funny. I mean, acting is kind of a hilarious thing for a grown man to call a job.

Seeing the energy of ‘SNL’ made me want to be a part of it. If that was a job, I thought, that was the job I wanted. That was my plan. Comedy.

I got a job at an amusement park. I like to make the rides more terrifying by throwing a couple of screws onto the seats.

It is not your job to fix people. I know your heart aches to see people you love in pain. But it is not your job to make their burden your own – that is not your path.

If you’re doing your job properly, you take the risk of feeling slightly foolish and delve in and bring out the emotions.
