“No matter how good you are, you still need grace to get out of the material world. You can be a yogi or a monk or a nun, but without God’s grace you still can’t make it.”

Give me love, give me peace on earth, give me light, give me life.

We are not these bodies, just souls having a bodily experience.

Everybody is worried about dying, but the cause of death is birth, so if you don’t want to die, you don’t get born!

Sometimes I feel like I’m actually on the wrong planet. It’s great when I’m in my garden, but the minute I go out the gate I think, ‘What the hell am I doing here?

With our love, we could save the world.

It’s all in the mind.

Why live in the darkness all your life? Why, if you are unhappy, if you are having a miserable time, why not just look at it? Why are you in the darkness? Look for the light. The light is within.

The world is ready for a mystic revolution, a discovery of the God in each of us.

The life my people want is a life of freedom. I have seen nothing that a white man has, houses or railways or clothing or food, that is as good as the right to move in the open country and live in our fashion.

I never pretended to have a great voice. It works and I can carry a tune. If you have a good song, that’s about all that’s required.

When the venerable pontiff’s hour has come, a Roman of good age shall be elected, of whom it will be said that he dishonored his throne though he held it long, with virtuous acts.

A good joke will sell quicker than a good poem, and, measured in sweat and blood, will bring better remuneration.

Keep good company, read good books, love good things and cultivate soul and body as faithfully as you can.

Salt is like good-humor, and nearly every thing is better for a pinch of it.

Today, now, it is time to move forward, a time to look for what is good in others, what is good in our country. It is time to see what we have in common, what we have to share as human beings and citizens.

You’re only as good as the people you hire.
