The trees come up to my window like the yearning voice of the dumb earth

We live in the world when we love it.

Clouds come floating into my life from other days no longer to shed rain or usher storm but to give colour to my sunset sky.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free.

It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.

Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.

If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.

The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

The problem is not how to wipe out all differences, but how to unite with all differences intact.

The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life.

What keeps life fascinating is the constant creativity of the soul.

Any learning process that is not entirely invested in questions is under funded.

You must have a definite purpose of life and a deep desire to achieve it. Without purpose, life is boring.

I think anybody can take a good picture. My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person doing something unfamous. It's being in the right place at the wrong time.

I don't think you can ever regain your ignorance.

I'll instinctively know that I identify with a character.

As an actor and director, you have to take risks, even though I don't like saying that word. You can make a mistake.

We need to not be in denial about what we've done, what we've come through. It will help us if we all do that.

If you make one gift this year, make it the gift of knowledge.

This issue has brought out the ugly in our society.
