  35. When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.

  50. Let my skin and sinews and bones dry up, together with all the flesh and blood of my body! I welcome it! But I will not move from this spot until I have attained the supreme and final wisdom.

  83. If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.

  90. Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God's hands.
  91. Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being.

  112. Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.
  113. Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment.
  114. Man is supposed to be the maker of his destiny. It is only partly true. He can make his destiny, only in so far as he is allowed by the Great Power.
  115. Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him.

  119. Morality is contraband in war.
  120. Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.

  132. Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.

Ours is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.

  141. Peace is its own reward.
  142. Poverty is the worst form of violence.

  145. Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
  146. Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

  148. Providence has its appointed hour for everything. We cannot command results, we can only strive.

  154. Self-respect knows no considerations.

It is proved not by extraneous evidence but in the transformed conduct and character of those who have felt the real presence of God within.
  156. Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.

  166. The law of sacrifice is uniform throughout the world. To be effective it demands the sacrifice of the bravest and the most spotless.

  171. The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity.

  176. There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
  177. There is an orderliness in the universe, there is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is no blind law; for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings.
  178. There is more to life than increasing its speed.
  179. There is no principle worth the name if it is not wholly good.

  187. Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.
  188. Truth never damages a cause that is just.
  189. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.
  190. Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.
  191. Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself.
  192. Violent men have not been known in history to die to a man. They die up to a point.
  193. We do not need to proselytise either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study.

  197. We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse, the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.
  198. We win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.
  199. What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?

  206. Where there is love there is life.

The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.

Facebook was not originally created to be a company. It was built to accomplish a social mission - to make the world more open and connected.

I wear the same outfit or, at least, a different copy of it almost every day.

A frustration I have is that a lot of people increasingly seem to equate an advertising business model with somehow being out of alignment with your customers. I think it's the most ridiculous concept.

Our goal is not to build a platform; it's to be cross all of them.

I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.

Figuring out what the next big trend is tells us what we should focus on.

When I started Facebook from my dorm room in 2004, the idea that my roommates and I talked about all the time was a world that was more open.

I actually do think you're seeing this trend towards organizations just caring more about their brand and engaging. And so I think Home Depot will want to humanize itself. I think that's a lot of why companies are starting blogs, are just giving more insight into what's going on with them.

Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.

By giving people the power to share, we're making the world more transparent.

I'm trying to make the world a more open place.

There are good examples of companies - Coca-Cola is one - that invested before there was a huge market in countries, and I think that ended up playing out to their benefit for decades to come

People at Facebook are fairly used to the press being nice to us or not nice to us.

We're running the company to serve more people.

A squirrel dying in front of your house may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa.

The thing that we are trying to do at facebook, is just help people connect and communicate more efficiently.

The basis of our partnership strategy and our partnership approach: We build the social technology. They provide the music.

The question isn't, 'What do we want to know about people?', It's, 'What do people want to tell about themselves?'
