Defect in one's limb ruins a man.

A man is great by deeds, not by birth.

Don't judge the future of a person based on his present conditions, becausetime has the power to change black coal to shiny diamond.

Avoid him who talks sweetly before you but tries to ruin you behind your back, for he is like a pitcher of poison with milk on top.

There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy.

A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.

A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to hell or the Supreme abode.

A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night.

The biggest guru-mantra is: never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.

Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.

The wise man should restrain his senses like the crane and accomplish his purpose with due knowledge of his place, time and ability.

There is no conscience in a real war.

I found I was repeating myself. It is the beginning of the end when you discover you have style.

You know you are a writer when characters inside your brain keep demanding, 'This is my story! Now tell it or I will never leave you alone!

Despite the myth that men are less committed, they are predisposed to desire marriage.

One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts.

As you get older, you don't get wiser. You get irritable.

You know, you have to allow life to play itself out, don't you? And one thing you learn is that it doesn't stop. It moves on.

Every man carries a menagerie in himself; and, by stirring him up all around, you will find every sort of animal represented there.

So I wonder if anything should ever be off limits.

I crave a cone of silence every once in while.
