“It is best to live with honor for just a day than with dishonor for many decades; better a short lived celestial swan than a century-lived crow.”

The secret of happiness is not in doing what you like but in liking what you have to do.

Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve the silence?

The secret of happiness is not in doing what you like but in liking what you have to do.

God, if you think, God you are. Dust if you think, dust you are. As you think, so you become. Think God, be God.

All is divine, all is God, and unity is divinity.

You are not one person, but three: The one you think you are; The one others think you are; The one you really are.

A person might be an expert in any field of knowledge or a master of many material skills and accomplishments. But without inner cleanliness his brain is a desert waste.

Every experience is a lesson. Every loss is a gain.

What is the Law of the Jungle? Strike first and then give tongue.

We are the storytelling animal.

My great forte in killing buffaloes was to get them circling by riding my horse at the head of the herd and shooting their leaders. Thus the brutes behind were crowded to the left, so that they were soon going round and round.

Thirst teaches all animals to drink, but drunkenness belongs only to man.

I can say with sincerity that I like cats. A cat is an animal which has more human feelings than almost any other.

Take a cat, nourish it well with milk and tender meat, make it a couch of silk.

Cat said, ‘I am not a friend, and I am not a Servant. I am the Cat who walks by himself, and I wish to come into your Cave.’
