“Anybody can be a believer; but anybody cannot be a good man! First, be good; then, in addition to this, be whatever you wish!”

“You cannot do anything good for a dead man! Whatever goodness you want to do for him, do it when he is alive!”

“Unless you have a very good reason, never wake up anybody or anything! Let the sleeper sleep in peace.”

“The first step to be a good man is this: You must deeply feel the burden of the stones someone else carrying.”

“Will you just stand on the foot of a high mountain and look at it with admiration or climb the top and be the admired itself? Remember that anybody can be an admirer; but the difficult thing is to be the admired one!”

“If you haven’t admired anybody in your whole life, you are the best candidate to be the world’s greatest megalomaniac!”

“Dog becomes a good friend with man whether the man himself is good or not!”
