“Heaven and hell is right now. You make it heaven or you make it hell by your actions.”

Everyone should have themselves regularly overwhelmed by Nature.

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.

As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.

The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.

People always say I’m the Beatle who changed the most, but really that’s what I see life is about… you have to change.

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

The chief condition on which, life, health and vigor depend on, is action. It is by action that an organism develops its faculties, increases its energy, and attains the fulfillment of its destiny.

I pack every minute I can with something to do.

Before I make an action, think about the consequences. … Any decision I make is a heavy decision.

Deliberation is a function of the many; action is the function of one.

No one makes me do anything I don’t want to do.

The thing about nonviolence is that it spreads. When you get people to participate in nonviolent action – whether it’s a fast, a march, a boycott, or a picket line – people hear you, people see you, people are learning from that action.

You need to be as clean of a slate as you can be, as an actor. You have to try to be open to every experience.

Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, ‘I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.
