“When people live in accordance with Nature, the song of life becomes sweet.”

Children, we should simplify our life’s needs and use the resulting savings for charity.

Real love is the complete absence of any negative feelings towards anyone.

If you have patience, then you’ll also have love. Patience leads to love.

Remember to set apart at least one hour every day to do some service for others. While the food we eat nurtures our bodies, it is what we give in charity that nurtures our souls. If time is not available daily, reserve at least a few hours every week for some worthwhile act of charity.

Most people are concerned only with what they can get from the world, but it is what we are able to give to others that determines the quality of our life.

Have the conviction that God is your only real relative and friend.

Love sustains everything.

Thankfulness is a humble, open and prayerful attitude that helps you receive more of God’s grace.

Too much reasoning has spoiled the contemporary mind. People have lost their hearts and faith.

Don’t be discouraged by your incapacity to dispel darkness from the world. Light your little candle and step forward.

Intellectual prowess has its limitations. Thus, do not limit the scope of your learning to the realm of the intellect.

Each and every living being in nature is part of God’s body.

What the world needs are servants, not leaders. Everyone’s wish is to become a leader, Let us become a real servant instead.

If we are not able to fix the Lord firmly in our hearts, even a lifetime of temple-going does not do us any good.

Love is our true essence. Love has no limitations of caste, religion, race, or nationality. We are all beads strung together on the same thread of love. To awaken this unity-and to spread to others the love that is our inherent nature-is the true goal of human life.

Just as the right hand comes to dress the wound on the left hand, we should see another person’s sorrows as our own and come to his or her aid.

Within a bony labrinthean cave, Reached by the pulse of the aerial wave, This sibyl, sweet, and Mystic Sense is found, Muse, that presides o’er all the Powers of Sound.

All flowers will droop in the absence of the sun that waked their sweets.

Sweet is pleasure after pain.

Through shallow intellect, the mind becomes shallow, and one eats the fly, along with the sweets.

Blown roses hold their sweetness to the last.

I want to open myself. … I want the light of God, I want the sweet love of Jesus. I danced for the Devil; I saw him, I wrote in his book; I go back to Jesus; I kiss His hand. I saw Sarah Good with the Devil. I saw Goody Osburn with the Devil. I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!

O most illustrious of the days of time! Day full of joy and benison to earth When Thou wast born, sweet Babe of Bethlehem!

I have liked many but loved very few. Yet no-one has been as sweet as you. I’d stand and wait in the world’s longest queue.
