The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
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.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
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.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
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.
