“The first step in selflessness is to practise it with our family.”

If you do what you love, you will never have to work a day in your life.

We need to understand the hierarchy of connections. Ultimately, we must connect to something above ourselves such as God. This can give us the power to spread happiness and joy around the world.

Live your life in such a way that those who know you but don’t know God will come to know God because they know you.

Having a friend to listen to your problems and discuss them with you is the beginning of finding a solution.

People who meditate develop a habit of practicing sincere gratitude which helps them in all their relationships. It is a relationship-strengthening emotion because it requires us to see how we’ve been supported and affirmed by other people.

Forgiveness is a complex concept. We must understand it thoroughly to be able to internalize it.

To find your purpose in life, you must go on a journey of self-discovery.

We should deal with each other sensitively; our attitude towards life affects how we act in our relationships.

The paradox of our times is that those who have the most can often be the least satisfied.

When things are beyond your control and there is nothing you can do,why worry?

You need an attitude of service. You’re not just serving yourself. You help others to grow up and you grow with them.

I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post, which any human power can give.

Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law.

Life is beautiful. It’s about giving. It’s about family.

I have so much admiration for women who are mothers, who balance family and work.

When mother is happy, family is happy. When family is happy, nation is happy.

The number one reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors.

I may not always be offered work, but I’ll always have my family.
