My religion and my patriotism derived from my religion, embrace all life.
Domestic matters are trifles for us. But they occupy the principal part of my life. They teach me to know my limitations.
The only praise I would like and treasure is the promotion of the activities to which my life is dedicated.
The first condition of nonviolence is justice all round, in every department of life.
Absolute calm is not the law of ocean. And it is the same with the ocean of life.
Healthy, well-informed, balanced criticism is the ozone of public life.
Every single act of one who would lead a life of purity should be in the nature of yajna.
The secret of a happy life lies in renunciation. Renunciation is life.
Man is sent into the world to perform his duty even at the cost of his life.
To know music is to transfer it to life.
The whole existence of man is a ceaseless duel between the forces of life and death.
Every calamity should lead to a thorough cleansing of individual as well as social life.
This earthly existence of ours is more brittle that the glass bangles that ladies wear.
Let us give today first the vital things of life and all the grace and ornaments of life will follow.
