The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
-Bertrand Russell "Bertrand Russell"
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realise there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
Change your thoughts, and you change your world.
You and the world should stop thinking of changing each other. Just allow a third person to do the needful. You know who I mean: God, the only Doer.
Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
If you want to leave the world better than you found it, then use your heart of compassion and your life of concern.
When there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
