Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Yesterday I was clever that is why I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise that is why I am changing myself.
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.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realise there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
If we cannot envision the world we would like to live in, we cannot work towards its creation. If we cannot place ourselves in it in our imagination, we will not believe it is possible.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
