Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
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 whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
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.
Change your thoughts, and you change your world.
