It is my unshakable belief that India's destiny is to deliver the message of nonviolence to mankind.

Where there is love there is life.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

True beauty lies in purity of the heart.

The future depends on what you do today.

Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.

In a gentle way, you can shake the world

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them.

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Relationships are based on four principles: respect, understanding, acceptance and appreciation.

No man remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.

Leadership is... to make sure you never limit the idea or opportunity.

Whatever you do, do it well.

Loving the world destroys our relationship with God, it denies our faith in God, and it discounts our future with God.

I feel like I'm the best point guard in the league.

I am as free as nature first made man, Ere the base laws of servitude began, When wild in woods the noble savage ran.

A lot of people have their own perceptions about me, like I'm very stuck up, so full of myself, you know. But it's not true.

When I read philosophy or neuroscience papers about consciousness, I don't get the sense we're any closer to understanding it than we were 50 years ago.
