Happy Reading…!!
- God can never be realized by one who is not pure of heart.
- Hate the sin, love the sinner.
- Hatred can be overcome only by love.
- Hatred ever kills, love never dies. Such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time? What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred?
- In a gentle way, you can shake the world.
- It is not non-violence if we merely love those that love us. It is non-violence only when we love those that hate us. I know how difficult it is to follow this grand law of love. But are not all great and good things difficult to do?
- Love is the strongest force the world possesses and yet it is the humblest imaginable.
- Love never asks it gives.
- Love never claims, it ever gives. Love ever suffers, never resents never revenges itself.
- One who hooks his fortune to ahimsa, the law of love, daily lessens the circle of destruction and to that extent promotes life and love.
- Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment.
- The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
- The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.
- The friendship that insists upon agreement on all things isn’t worth the name.
- The law of love could be understood and learned through children.
- The real love is to love them that hate you, to love your neighbor even though you distrust him.
- There is no love where there is no will.
- There is no such thing as ‘too insane’ unless others turn up dead due to your actions.
- To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of vivid knowledge that one that must be loved is not a friend. There is no merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend.
- To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
- To see the universal and all-pervading Spirit of Truth face to face, one must be able to love the meanest of all creation as oneself.
- True love is boundless like the ocean and, swelling within one, spreads itself out and, crossing all boundaries and frontiers, envelops the whole world.
- Trusting one another, however, can never mean trusting with the lip and mistrusting in the heart.
- What barrier is there that love cannot break?
- Whenever you are confronted with an opponent, conquer him with love.
- Whenever you have truth, it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.
- Where love is, there God is also.
- Where there is love there is life.
- You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
- A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
- A love that is based on the goodness of those whom you love is a mercenary affair, whereas true love is self-effacing and demands no consideration.
- A man who was completely innocent offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.
- Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding.
