“Work is the grand cure of all the maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind.”

Do nothing, only keep agitating, debating; and things will destroy themselves.

If you do not wish a man to do a thing, you had better get him to talk about it; for the more men talk, the more likely they are to do nothing else.

What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.

Music is well said to be the speech of angels.

Our grand business undoubtedly is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.

Experience is the best of school masters, only the school fees are heavy.

A great man shows his greatness by the way he treats little men.

You can make even a parrot into a learned political economist – all he must learn are the two words “supply” and “demand.”

Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death.

Of all God’s creatures, Man alone is poor.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do that with all thy might and leave the issues calmly to God.

I feel like I’m pretty good but I don’t like to toot my own horn, you know. I want to let the work speak for itself and kind of move on to the next thing.

We’ve always described our sound as a bit more guitar driven than normal pop music. Kind of Pink in a boy band form. We’ve heard a few people say that so now we use it. I think Pink is amazing person to be compared to.

However spontaneous it seems, laughter always implies a kind of secret freemasonry, or even complicity, with other laughers, real or imaginary.

Before anything, I wanted to be a rapper. I used to make beats and I would start singing to layer my beats and that’s kind of how I realized I could sing.

I appreciate the change associated with people’s growth, but I don’t like the changes in our lives. I came to Mumbai in 1945, so imagine my acceptance of the massive changes around. I have witnessed every kind of revolution.

Please be kind and loving to yourself this releases everything.

I kind of left everyone behind in Australia – all my friends and my family and I had to break up with my boyfriend.

The best that we can do is to be kindly and helpful toward our friends and fellow passengers who are clinging to the same speck of dirt while we are drifting side by side to our common doom.
