Human rights are...the quintessential values through which we affirm together that we are a single human community.
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
Begin with yourself. There is no time to waste. It is your duty to do your part to bring God’s kingdom on earth.
It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
