Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
If you want to leave the world better than you found it, then use your heart of compassion and your life of concern.
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.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
The world will be balanced when we are balanced.
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.
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.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
