I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.

Human
-Charlotte Brontë "Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre"
A man’s value depends upon his courage and resolution, his veracity depends upon his traits of nobility and self respect and his chastity depends upon his sense of honour.
-Anonymous "Hazrat Ali"
How strange are we? We don't have claws like a tiger, yet we growl at others,
don't have venom like snakes, yet harbour animosities; don't have wings like
birds, still keep flying in the fantasy world. When you do not possess any human
quality, how will you achieve success in life?
-Deep Trivedi
The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
-Deep Trivedi
In existence, no human being is perfect. Every person has his own unique
nature and individual field of expertise. Even those, whom we know as gods
were unaware of the knowledge of science all their life.
-Deep Trivedi
A ''human being'' is born with far superior potential of sensitivities than animals,
trees and plants. But unfortunately, he is unable to utilize it because, instead of
living in harmony with nature, he tries to follow his brain.
-Deep Trivedi
The superior man does not embark upon any affair until he has carefully planned the start.
-Scriptures "I Ching 6: Conflict"
Only he, who has a ''mind devoid of thought'' can live life like a human being. If
you have any inhibition, principles, a fixed mindset or an obstinate nature, others
will keep using you like an object.
-Deep Trivedi
Rendering help to another is the function of all human beings.
-Scriptures "Tattvarthasutra 5.21"
A man who is averse to harming even the wind knows the sorrow of all living things.
-Scriptures "Acaranga Sutra"
