General Quotes

“I understood, not with my intellect but with my whole being, that no theories of the rationality of existence or of progress could justify such an act; I realized that even if all the people in the world from the day of creation found this to be necessary according to whatever theory, I knew that it was not necessary and that it was wrong. Therefore, my judgments must be based-on what is right and necessary and not on what people say and do; I must judge not according to progress but according to my own heart.”
Leo Tolstoy

“understood more clearly in the light of the Gita teaching the implication of the word ‘trustee’.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“If you asked twenty good men to-day what they thought the highest of the virtues, nineteen of them would reply, Unselfishness. But if you asked almost any of the great Christians of old he would have replied, Love - You see what has happened? A negative term has been substituted for a positive, and this is of more than philological importance.  The negative ideal of Unselfishness carries with it the suggestion not primarily of securing good things for others, but of going without them ourselves, as if our abstinence and not their happiness was the important point.”
C.S. Lewis

“Disappointment comes when reality falls short of our expectations. But nothing falls short of God’s expectations because He knows everything.”

“For any one who is pervaded with the sense of causal law in all that happens, who accepts in real earnest the assumption of causality, the idea of a Being who interferes with the sequence of events in the world is absolutely impossible. Neither the religion of fear nor the social-moral religion can have any hold on him.”
Albert Einstein

“Student: Dr. Einstein, Aren't these the same questions as last year's [physics] final exam?

Albert Einstein

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
Mother Teresa

“No man can be an exile if he remembers that all the world is one city.”
C.S. Lewis

“The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.”
John F. Kennedy

“Major barriers to successful planning are fear of change, ignorance, uncertainty about the future, and lack of imagination.”

“It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.”

“The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win, and their participants know it.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are they crazy?” –Albert Einstein”
Albert Einstein

“What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world.”
Albert Einstein

“Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns in to universal, rather than religion-specific, values... it requires that their proposals be subject to argument and amenable to reason. Now I may be opposed to abortion for religious reasons, to take one example, but if I seek to pass a law banning the practice, I cannot simply point to the teachings of my church or evoke God's will. I have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths, including those with no faith at all.”
Barack Obama
