-Charlotte Brontë "Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre"
How strange are we? We don't have claws like a tiger, yet we growl at others,
don't have venom like snakes, yet harbour animosities; don't have wings like
birds, still keep flying in the fantasy world. When you do not possess any human
quality, how will you achieve success in life?
-Deep Trivedi
Don't be under the wrong impression that you have done something or you can
do something... Please be clear, it is your nature that propels you to act, and
your each action is nothing but a transpiration compelled by it.
-Deep Trivedi
Human rights are...the quintessential values through which we affirm together that we are a single human community.
-Radhika Coomaraswamy "Radhika Coomaraswamy"
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.
-Mahatma Gandhi "Mahatma Gandhi"
Human dignity is independent of national borders. We must always defend the interests of the persecuted in other countries.
-Kjell Bondevik "Kjell Bondevik"
There are no greater treasures than the highest human qualities such as compassion, courage and hope. Not even tragic accident or disaster can destroy such treasures of the heart.
-A Spiritual Leader "Daisaku Ikeda"
Rendering help to another is the function of all human beings.
-Scriptures "Tattvarthasutra 5.21"
The childishness of a human being is; on one hand, he is competing to take
credit for success, on the other hand, he is always seeking out an opportunity to
blame someone else for his failure. Consequently, he is never able to analyze
any event accurately.
-Deep Trivedi
A detached human being is the one who is neither in the race to achieve
something nor is anxious to renounce anything.
-Deep Trivedi
