“We notice that the mind is a restless bird; the more it gets the more it wants, and still remains unsatisfied. The more we indulge our passions the more unbridled they become.

Millions will always remain poor.”

“When merit has been achieved, do not take it to yourself; for if you do not take it to yourself, it shall never be taken from you.”
