Our task must be to free ourselves By widening our circle of compassion To embrace all living creatures And the whole of nature and its beauty.
You cannot teach a child any more than you can grow a plant. The plant develops its own nature. It also teaches itself, but you can help it to go forward in its own way. What you can do is to sow an aspiration-seed.
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them. That is the essence of inhumanity.
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
