Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.
We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.
We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.
There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.
The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.
The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.
The purpose of our lives is to be happy.
