“The face of tomorrow can be seen only in tomorrow.”

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!

When you see your fellow religious man, don’t call him brother; but when you see a man of honour, a man of goodness, a man of peace, a man of ethics, now you can call him as your brother!

The longest distance in the universe is not between the stars, but between the religion and the truth!

In a marshland amongst the crocodiles, there float beautiful water lilies! Even in the Hell, one can find the good and the beauty.

Mirrors are used in magic to distort what we see. They are the love child of illusion, lies, tragedy.

I always had the dream that, once I became No 1 in the world, that if I had a child I hoped I would have it early enough so the child can see me playing.

I’m the female equivalent of a counterfeit $20 bill. Half of what you see is a pretty good reproduction, the rest is a fraud.

If I didn’t play tennis I probably would have to see a psychiatrist.

Seven out of 10 black faces you see on television are athletes. The black athlete carries the image of the black community. He carries the cross, in a way, until blacks make inroads in other dimensions.

In a thousand unseen ways we have drawn shape and strength from the land.

Our attitude towards plants is a singularly narrow one. If we see any immediate utility in a plant we foster it. If for any reason we find its presence undesirable or merely a matter of indifference, we may condemn it to destruction forthwith.

I always believe I can beat the best, achieve the best. I always see myself in the top position.
