We have no word for ‘nation’ in our language.

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.
-Thomas Jefferson
Neither the ones who have created enormous wealth under the shade of religion,
nor the ones who have relinquished wealth for religion can be called 'free from
worldly attachments'.

-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.
