Not being dead isn't being alive.
-E. E. Cummings
It is against nature to pre-decide, what is to be done the next moment. But
surprisingly, people even decide right from what they aspire to become in future
to when should they visit temples and observe fasts. Now, if you act so much
against nature, of course you will have to bear the brunt of it.
-Deep Trivedi

So long as we believe in our heart of hearts that our capacity is limited and we grow anxious and unhappy, we are lacking in faith. One who truly trusts in God has no right to be anxious about anything.
I am further of opinion that it would be better for us to have no laws at all than to have them in so prodigious numbers as we have.
-Michel De Montaigne
Human dignity is independent of national borders. We must always defend the interests of the persecuted in other countries.
