“Peaceful and kind one monk is more valuable than violent and rude ten thousand men!”

We see the man when we look at the monkey; we see the monkey when we look at the man!

Everything cannot be possible without thinking that everything is possible!

One hundred sparrow does not make one eagle.

An honourable public and a dishonourable dictator cannot live together; at the end, the latter goes!

Like a garbage truck, we need a ‘lie-truck’ which will collect lies from everyone’s houses every morning, even every hour!

You cannot separate the old furniture from the memories and the memories from the old furniture!

Literature is a microscope; it shows us the unseen!

Violence is the tool of the barbarian; aggression is the method of the primitive; bloodshed is the way of the savage; cruelty is the manner of the brutish! To be called as a ‘civilised,’ man must be peaceable!

If you don’t like an idea, put another idea against it! If you use your fist against an idea that you don’t like, you only prove how horribly primitive you are!

A man who sits under a tree and dreams makes more journey than a man who goes around the world without dreaming!

It is a good habit to thank always the bridge which takes you to the other side or to mention the name of the bridge or to take the photo of it or to repair it if you can! In short, do something good for those who do goodness for you!

We need clear days to see the horizons; we need foggy nights to see beyond the horizons! Man sometimes can think much deeper when he sees less!

Stupid man produces noise; clever man produces silence!

If you do not read and listen to the opposite ideas, you can always remain a stupid person! Opposite ideas, however contrary they may sound, are your greater chances on the way to truth!

If this universe is the House of God, then I must say it is quite a dark house despite several hundred billion suns!

Always seek for balance in your life: If you stayed long in the darkness, walk long in the light; if you talked too much, stay silent for a good while; if you climbed the high mountains, hike long on the plains! Balance everything!

Rudeness is the weak man’s limitation of strength.

A fit body gives you confidence. And there’s nothing more impressive than a great attitude, which you can wear on your sleeve. But you’ll have to remember the difference between being rude and being confident.

All of my books deal in a very rough, rude fashion with subjects about which there are great conflicts of opinion.

I don’t mind it. My friends think it’s kind of rude of the people to come up to me and treat me like an object.

Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first; Be not discouraged – keep on – there are divine things, well envelop’d; I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.

Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.
