“If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.”

Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.

Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.

A man must stand erect, not be kept erect by others.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

How ridiculous and how strange to be surprised at anything which happens in life.

Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.

Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter. Cold or warm.

What we cannot bear removes us from life; what remains can be borne.

Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Receive without conceit, release without struggle.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere.

Confine yourself to the present.

Life is opinion.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

When we accept the temporary nature of everything in our lives, we can feel gratitude for the good fortune of getting to borrow them for a time.

The good Lord added an extra dash of forehead when making me.

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

The less people know about you, the more you understand how beautiful life is. It’s good when you exist only on screen. I don’t want them to take me home. I love to have my privacy.

Maybe the country doesn’t pray for me like they do for Sachin Tendulkar, but I know I’m on a good wicket as well.

It’s easy to impress me. I don’t need a fancy party to be happy. Just good friends, good food, and good laughs. I’m happy. I’m satisfied. I’m content.

As a sportsman, my aim was to help sportspersons grow. The idea is to see what is good for sport rather than what’s good for individuals.
