In history, we remember and respect only those who have the courage to stand
apart from the crowd and speak the "truth". Like Buddha, who despite being
born into a Hindu family defied Hindu traditions, its hypocrisies and established
Buddhism. Likewise, even Jesus, born into a Jewish family, revolted against
Jewish traditions and lost his life, or "Krishna" who not only opposed every
prevalent tradition, but even broke them all his life. Do you still wish to continue
being a Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
- Deep Trivedi
Power invariably elects to go into the hands of the strong. Strength may be physical, or of the heart or, if we do not fight shy of the word, of the spirit. Strength of the heart connotes soul-force. Let it be remembered that physical force is transitory. But the power of spirit is permanent even as the spirit is everlasting.
- Mahatma Gandhi
Real pain can alone cure us of imaginary ills. We feel a thousand miseries till we are lucky enough to feel misery.
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No God in this world can be so narrow-minded that he needs to be appeased by
sycophancy or worship, and if he does gets pleased and favours you, then he
cannot be God... He can only be the devil.
- Deep Trivedi
Before doing any good unto others, it is necessary for a person to know the
difference between soulful happiness and egoistic happiness. If you tamper with
someone's ego, then along with him, even you will be badly trapped.
- Deep Trivedi
It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.
- H. L. Mencken
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
- Nelson Mandela
People will ask me: Don’t you believe in God? No, I don’t. I believe in two things above all: Nature and Love. Nature is all-powerful. Love is how I understand the good. It might have been nice to believe in God, often defined as all-powerful and good, but combining the two like that has always posed too much of a contradiction for my poor mind to believe in.
- C. George Boeree
Every lie is two lies — the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it.
- Robert Brault
