The greatest way to live with honour in this world is to be what we pretend to be.

Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose.

Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.

The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly.

I want to do a certain thing in the world, and I am going to do it with unwavering concentration. I am concerning myself with only one essential thing: to set man free. I desire to free him from all cages, from all fears, and not to found religions, new sects, nor to establish new theories and new philosophies.

Someone who thinks the world is always cheating him is right. He is missing that wonderful feeling of trust in someone or something.

In times of change learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.

Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.

You see, idealism detached from action is just a dream. But idealism allied with pragmatism, with rolling up your sleeves and making the world bend a bit, is very exciting. It's very real. It's very strong.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

To do more for the world than the world does for you – that is success.

Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can’t, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.

The best order of things, as I see it, is the one that includes me; to hell with the most perfect of worlds, if I'm not part of it.
