“Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass, you know his faults, now let the foibles pass.”

It’s easier to hurt someone and make them cry, than it is to dry their eyes.

All I got to be is be happy.

Even if it’s being a Beatle for the rest of my life, it’s still only a temporary thing.

I can see the Beatles sticking together forever, really. We’ve been together a long time.

If everyone who had a gun just shot themselves, there wouldn’t be a problem.

I keep stacks of Autobiography of a Yogi around the house, and I give it out constantly to people. When people need ‘regrooving,’ I say read this, because it cuts to the heart of every religion.

The Beatles exist apart from my Self. I am not really Beatle George. Beatle George is like a suit or shirt that I once wore on occasion and until the end of my life people may see that shirt and mistake it for me.

Didn’t want to be a star, wanted just to play guitar in this cockamamie business.

I fell in love, not with anything or anybody in particular but with everything.

If people would just wake up to what’s real, there would be no misery in the world. I guess chanting’s a pretty good place to start.

All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.

Be straight with yourself just to maybe save a few more people from being stupid and being ignorant.

It’s easier to criticize somebody else, than to see yourself.

It’s God’s love manifest in this world through everything that’s in this world, and all the people in the world.

There’s a bottomless heart hooked into all of you and it’s wondering how much you care.

Yesterday, today was tomorrow. And tomorrow, today will be yesterday.

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.

All of a sudden to get all of this attention, and to be away from home and working all the time was hard. I was on planes all the time. I didn’t see my friends. I cried a lot. It was quite terrifying.

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you’re alone with.

Love is blind; friendship tries not to notice.

Your choices will define you; so make them the right ones.

If you wear black socks with white shoes then we can’t be friends.

Be with the people who have good intentions.

It’s a sad thing not to have friends, but it is even sadder not to have enemies.
