The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Can the world exist without one to cognise it? Which comes first the being-consciousness or the rising-consciousness? The former is always there and eternal; the latter rises and disappears. It is transient.
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
Yesterday I was clever that is why I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise that is why I am changing myself.
