-Gautama Buddha

Even as a mirror reflects an object held close to it, one’s behavior reflects as the ego-sense in one’s consciousness. But if held at a distance, ego-sense does not arise.
-Scriptures
If you keep your focus fixed on the 'witness' - the one who is watching rather

be severed. The root cause of all the miseries of the world is our attachment with
them.
-Deep Trivedi
The proper way to resist evil is to absolutely refuse to do evil either for one’s self or for others.
-Leo Tolstoy
Change occurs when one becomes what he is, not when he tries to become what he is not.

The scriptures teach us the best way of living, the noblest way of suffering, and the most comfortable way of dying.
-John Flavel
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Human dignity is independent of national borders. We must always defend the interests of the persecuted in other countries.
