Famous Quotes about mankind“ Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning. ” “ Man is a piece of the universe made alive ” “ In the East people have condemned the body, condemned matter, called matter "illusory," maya - it does not really exist, it only appears to exist; it is made of the same stuff as dreams are made of. They denied the world, and that is the reason for the East remaining poor, sick, in starvation. Half of humanity has been accepting the inner world but denying the outer world.

This is my contribution to humanity: the whole person. ” “ Human nature is not of itself vicious. ” “ The world is a stage and we are all actors. Each actor plays a unique part and is responsible for their own actions. Responsibility means doing the right thing no matter how big or small the task may be. Each one of us has a special role to play in making the world a better place. ” “ There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread. ” “ How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. ” “ We must be our own before we can be another's. ” “ Every one is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody. ” “ Wicked men obey out of fear; good men, out of love. ” “ We are wiser than we know. ” |
