Happiness depends upon ourselves.

We may stumble and fall but shall rise again; it should be enough if we did not run away from the battle.

Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.

Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught. 

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Competition is the keen cutting edge of business, always shaving away at costs. 

It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.

I have always been of opinion that all the political workers should be indifferent and should never bother about the legal fight in the law courts and should boldly bear the heaviest possible sentences inflicted upon them. They may defend themselves but always from purely political considerations and never from a personal point of view.

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving. 

Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.
