“Let mercy be your mosque, faith your prayer-mat, and honest living your Koran.” - Sri Guru Granth Sahib “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.” - Confucius “In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.” - Buddha “Why not let people differ about their answers to the great mysteries of the Universe? Let each seek one's own way to the highest, to one's own sense of supreme loyalty in life, one's ideal of life. Let each philosophy, each world-view bring forth its truth and beauty to a larger perspective that people may grow in vision, stature and dedication.” “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail."- Abraham Maslow “The highest result of education is tolerance." “The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion." - Paine The Holy Prophet Mohammed came into this world and taught us: That man is a Muslim who never hurts anyone by word or deed, but who works for the benefit and happiness of God's creatures. Belief in God is to love one's fellow men.” - Abdul Ghaffar Khan “If we wish to create a lasting peace we must begin with the children." - Mahatma Gandhi Just remember one criterion: whatever you do should not be in the service of destruction, it should be in the service of creativity. - Osho Jesus is a rebel, just as Buddha is or Lao Tzu is. A man who has any courage, a man who has any guts, is bound to be a rebel. - Osho “I am against seriousness --- It is a spiritual sickness. Laughter is spiritual health and laughter is very unburdening. While you laugh, you can put your mind aside very easily. For a man who can not laugh, the doors of Buddha's are closed. To me, Laughter is one of the greatest values. No religion has ever thought about it. They have always been insisting on seriousness. And because of their insistence, the whole world is psychologically sick." - Osho “What is so wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote it.” - E. M. Forster “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” ― Isaac Asimov |
“It is better to sit alone than in company with the bad; and it is, better still to sit with the good than alone. It is better to speak to a seeker of knowledge than to remain silent; but silence is better than idle words.”- Islamic Quote. “Use your knowledge always for the benefit of others; so may war cease on the face of this beautiful earth…" - Abdu’l-Bahá (Bahai Religion) The ten vows, virtues or dharma in Jainism are: (1) Uttama Kshama – Supreme Forgiveness, (2) Mardava – Tenderness or Humility, (3) Arjaya – Honesty, (4) Shaucha – Contentment or Purity, (5) Satya – Truthfulness, (6) Sanyam – Self-restraint, (7) Tapa – Penance or Austerities, (8) Tyaga – Renunciation, (9)Akinchanya – Non-attachment, (10) Brahmacarya – Chastity or celibacy. There are three partners in man, God, father, and mother. When a man honors his father and mother, God says, “I regard it as though I had dwelt among them and they had honored me." - Judaism
“Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, no religion too. Imagine all the people living life in peace. ..." “Turn your wounds into wisdom.” ― Oprah Winfrey
