-Thomas Paine "Thomas Paine"
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 171"
It is not that the world has deteriorated today. You perceive the world as you are.
The world has been the same from the very beginning; neither has there been
a virtuous age (Dharma yuga) nor a sin age (Papi yuga). Here, everything has
always been dependent on an individual's perspective with which he looks at it.
-Deep Trivedi
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Can the world exist without one to cognise it? Which comes first the being-consciousness or the rising-consciousness? The former is always there and eternal; the latter rises and disappears. It is transient.
-Ramana Maharshi "Sri Ramana Maharshi"
Yesterday I was clever that is why I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise that is why I am changing myself.
-Sri Chinmoy "Sri Chinmoy"
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
-Bertrand Russell "Bertrand Russell"
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Dayananda Saraswati"
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.
-Ramana Maharshi "Ramana Maharshi"
