As you smell the fragrance of a flower by handing it or the smell of sandalwood by rubbing it against a stone, so you obtain spiritual awakening by constantly thinking of God.

The happiness of the world is transitory. The less you become attached to the world, the more you enjoy peace of mind.

You see, my son, it is not a fact that you will never face dangers. Difficulties always come, but they do not last forever. You will see that they pass away like water under a bridge.

God cannot be realized without love. Yes, sincere love.

Don't be afraid. Human birth is full of suffering and one has to endure everything patiently, taking the Name of God. None, not even God in human form can escape the sufferings of the body and mind.

Even the impossible becomes possible through devotion.

No one can suffer for all time. No one will spend all his days on this earth in suffering. Every action brings its own result, and one gets one's opportunities accordingly.

Open your grief-stricken heart to the Lord. Weep and sincerely pray, 'O Lord, draw me towards You; give me peace of mind.' By doing so constantly you, will gradually attain peace of mind.

There is no treasure equal to contentment and no virtue equal to fortitude.

One must be patient like the earth. What iniquities are being perpetuated on her! Yet she quietly endures them all.

My son, forbearance is a great virtue; there's no other like it.

As important as color is to a painting, or wings to a bird. Music injects vibrancy to film and makes it soar!

Do not forget about the thorns on the roseswhen you say that love is like a red red rose.

I like boxing movies. One of the hardest things for me to watch as far as boxing films, is the boxing. The actual boxing usually sucks.

Photography can strip from the world that spiritual dust and grime with which our eyes have covered it.

I like mythology - anything historical.

You can't tell the story of the women's movement through the story of one woman.

It's not hatred that kills people, it's indifference

A lot of times the best trailers are for complete dogshit movies. It's a shame that people are beyond quick to judge things these days. Lots of great stuff gets lost that way.

Every nation has a right to govern itself internally under what forms it pleases, and to change these forms at its own will.

Politicians are just Daily Mail journalists writ large, aren't they? They're always telling us what's going to happen, and we know they don't know!
