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.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
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.
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.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
Change your thoughts, and you change your world.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
