I believe unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.

Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment.

There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.

The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.

I have no desire to suffer twice, in reality and then in retrospect.

He who has so little knowledge of human natures as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.

Amid the seeming confusion of our mysterious world, individuals are so nicely adjusted to a system, and systems to one another and to a whole, that, by stepping aside for a moment, a man exposes himself to a fearful risk of losing his place forever.

A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within more than the luster of the firmament of bards and sages.

Jealousy feeds upon suspicion, and it turns into fury or it ends as soon as we pass from suspicion to certainty.

No one returns with good will to the place which has done him a mischief.

Don't be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn't do what you do or think as you do or as fast. There is a time when you didn't know what you know today.

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity.

Until you get comfortable with being alone, you’ll never know if you’re choosing someone out of love or loneliness.

To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.

To feel the intimacy of brothers is a marvelous thing in life.

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

I’m fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I’d like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don’t like being alone because they truly don’t like themselves, but I love me.

Love means to love that which is unloveable. Otherwise it is no virtue at all.

Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.

And God said love your enemy and I obeyed him and loved myself.

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

It was not the truth they wanted, but an illusion they could bear to live with.

The truth is not wonderful enough to suit the newspapers; so they enlarge upon it and invent ridiculous embellishments.

The liar is no better than the thief, and if his mendacity takes the form of slander he may be worse than most thieves. It puts a premium upon knavery untruthfully to attack an honest man, or even with hysterical exaggeration to assail a bad man with untruth.

The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

We know how to speak many falsehoods which resemble real things, but we know, when we will, how to speak true things.

And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth.

I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

I propose to raise a revolution against the lie that the majority has the monopoly of the truth.

Realizing the Divine as Truth will save you hours of work in research in any field. You will be led to the right book or the right place or the right person without loss of time, or the necessary information will come to you in some other way.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
