The time is always right to do what is right.

Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.

You can kill the dreamer, but you can’t kill the dream.

Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?’ But, conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.

Anyone who attempts is not a failure.

The high-minded man must care more for the truth than for what people think.

We must be neither cowardly nor rash but courageous.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

It is not enough to win a war; it is more important to organize the peace.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

"He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man."

"When you give yourself, you receive more than you give."

The basis of moral principles is to have a real concern for the well-being of others and an appreciation of the oneness of humanity. Whether science or religion is constructive or destructive depends on our motivation and whether we are guided by moral principles.

When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.

Pain can change you, but that doesn’t mean it has to be a bad change. Take that pain and turn it into wisdom.

Through violence, you may ‘solve’ one problem, but you sow the seeds for another.

When you care for others, you manifest an inner strength despite any difficulties you face. Your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. Reaching beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain confidence, courage and a greater sense of calm.

A good motivation and honesty bring self-confidence, which attracts the trust and respect of others. Therefore the real source of blessings is in our own mind.

The wiser course is to think of others when pursuing our own happiness.

True happiness comes from having a sense of inner peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved by cultivating altruism, love and compassion, and by eliminating anger, selfishness and greed.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.
