Quotes of the Day

1- Morality which depends upon the helplessness of a man or woman has not much to recommend it. Morality is rooted in the purity of our hearts.

3- My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.

4- I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.

5- Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.

Mahatma Gandhi

 

Enlightenment philosophers quotes

* Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn’t have it in the beginning.

* You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

Mahatma Gandhi

* The more I read, the more I meditate; and the more I acquire, the more I am enabled to affirm that I know nothing

Voltaire

* There is a foolish corner in the brain of the wisest man.

* Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence

* Anyone can become angry – that is easy, but to be angry with the right person at the right time, and for the right purpose and in the right way – that is not within everyone’s power and that is not easy.

* A friend to all is a friend to none.

Aristotle
