“Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity.”

“You wish to be great, begin from the least. You are thinking to construct some mighty fabric in height; first think of the foundation of humility. And how great soever a mass of building one may wish and design to place above it, the greater the building is to be, the deeper does he dig his foundation.”

“If war is ever lawful, then peace is sometimes sinful.”

“I thought the earth remembered me, she took me back so tenderly, arranging her dark skirts, her pockets full of lichens and seeds. I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed, nothing between me and the white fire of the stars.”

“The night can sweat with terror as before We pieced our thoughts into philosophy, And planned to bring the world under a rule, Who are but weasels fighting in a hole.”

“In all matters of opinion, our adversaries are insane.”

“India wants to avoid a war at all costs but it is not a one-sided affair, you cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.”
