If we cannot envision the world we would like to live in, we cannot work towards its creation. If we cannot place ourselves in it in our imagination, we will not believe it is possible.
Compassion: I don’t think that there is another world as important in marking a person’s inner growth. No other word completely conveys what this single word conveys.
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
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.
If you want to leave the world better than you found it, then use your heart of compassion and your life of concern.
