“Hinduism is a living organism liable to growth and decay subject to the laws of Nature. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. The changes in the season affect it. It has its autumn and its summer, its winter and its spring. It is, and is not, based on scriptures. It does not derive its authority from one book. Non violence has found the highest expression and application in Hinduism.”
“Hinduism is a living organism. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. Knowledge is limitless and so also the application of truth. Everyday we add to our knowledge of the power of Atman (soul) and we shall keep on doing so.”
“Hinduism is a relentless pursuit of Truth. "Truth is God" and if today it has become moribund, inactive, irresponsive to growth, it is because we are fatigued; and as soon as the fatigue is over, Hinduism will burst upon the world with a brilliance perhaps unknown before.”
“Hinduism is like the Ganga, pure and unsullied at its source but taking in its course the impurities in the way. Even like the Ganga it is beneficent in its total effect. It takes a provincial form in every province, but the inner substance is retained everywhere.”

“Hinduism is not a codified religion.”
“Hinduism is not just a faith. It is the union of reason and intuition that can not be defined but is only to be experienced. Evil and error are not ultimate. There is no Hell, for that means there is a place where God is not, and there are sins which exceed his love.”
“Hinduism is synonymous with humanism. That is its essence and its great liberating quality.”
“Hinduism is the mother of all religions”
“Hinduism is wholly free from the strange obsession of some faiths that the acceptance of a particular religious metaphysics is necessary for salvation, and non-acceptance thereof is a heinous sin meriting eternal punishment in hell.”
“Hinduism loses its right to make a universal appeal if it closes its temples to Harijans.”
Source: Collected Works
“Hinduism the perennial philosophy that is at the core of all religions.”
“Hinduism threw away Buddhism after taking its sap. The attempt of all the Southern Acharyas was to effect a reconciliation between the two. Shankaracharya's teaching shows the influence of Buddhism. His disciples perverted his teaching and carried it to such an extreme point that some of the later reformers were right in calling the Acharya's followers "crypto-buddhists".”

“Hinduism would not be eternal were it not constantly growing and spreading, and taking in new areas of experience. Precisely because it has this power of self addition and re-adaptation, in greater degree than any other religion that the world has even seen, we believe it to be the one immortal faith.”

“Hinduism would not have been much of a religion if Rama had not steeled his heart against every temptation.”
Source: Collected Works
“Hinduism's basic tenet is that many roads exist by which men have pursued and still pursue their quest for the truth and that none has universal validity.”
“Hinduism, being one of the world's oldest, largest and most diverse traditions, also provides inspiration toward deities in our game. In fact, given Hinduism's concept of a single truth with multiple physical manifestations one could validly interpret ALL the gods within SMITE to be Hindu. And all gods outside of SMITE as well. Ponder that for a minute. Anyway, going forward SMITE will include even more deities, not fewer.”
“Hinduism, Confucianism, and Buddhism are huge traditions of enormous importance, and they aren't monotheistic. Again, this reflects the fact that our preconceptions about what religion is are so influenced by Protestantism - either real Protestantism or the secularized Protestantism that dominates our culture - and its assumption that beliefs are the most important thing.”
“Hinduism... gave itself no name, because it set itself no sectarian limits; it claimed no universal adhesion, asserted no sole infallible dogma, set up no single narrow path or gate of salvation; it was less a creed or cult than a continuously enlarging tradition of the Godward endeavour of the human spirit. An immense many-sided many-staged provision for a spiritual self-building and self-finding, it had some right to speak of itself by the only name it knew, the eternal religion, Sanatana Dharma.”
“Hindus and Westerners alike see in the meat-eating taboos of India a triumph of morals over appetite. This is a dangerous misrepresentation of cultural processes. Hindu vegetarianism was a victory not of spirit over matter but of reproductive over productive forces.”

“Hindustan had become free. Pakistan had become independent soon after its inception but man was still slave in both these countries -- slave of prejudice … slave of religious fanaticism … slave of barbarity and inhumanity.”
“Hindutva forces have turned Holi into another tool of oppression. Every year, we see videos of Hindu mobs entering Muslim localities, forcing people to apply color, and deliberately creating tension. Mosques are targeted, loud music is played aggressively outside religious places, and if minorities resist, they are accused of being "anti-national" and violence erupts. This is not a celebration; this is intimidation.”
“Hines loved regional foods, breaking the monotony of roadside chicken and steak with Creole gumbo, soft shell crabs, Mississippi River catfish, Montgomery lemon pie, Nebraska corn fritters, black-eyed peas. For a time there was a Hines-branded line of Kentucky country hams. You could count on finding listings for the classics-- places like Manhattan's Delmonico's or the Brooklyn steakhouse Peter Luger-- but you were just as likely to be taken off the beaten track to Ham-That-Am-Ham, a ham specialist upstate.”

“Hinged to forgetfulness like a door, she slowly closed out of sight, and she was the woman I loved, but too many times she slept like a mechanical deer in my caresses, and I ached in the metal silence of her dreams.”
“Hingga fakta bahwa selama ini ia berusaha menipu diri sendiri seakan-akan berkaki kormal dengan mengimpikan sepeda seperti anak-anak lainnya. Laksana seekor semut hitam yang bermimpi menjadi kupu-kupu yang indah. Sayap-sayap impiannya rapuh dan luruh seketika.

“Hinzu kommt, Sie haben das bestimmt gesehen, dass Kurt Westergaard* von Angela Merkel für seine Karikaturen gegen den Propheten persönlich ausgezeichnet und gelobt wurde. Shariah-rechtlich steht auf so eine Person die Todesstrafe. Dadurch stellt sich Ihre Regierung als Feind des Islam dar.
*Dänischer Zeichner, dessen umstrittene Mohammed-Karikaturen 2005 von der dänischen Zeitung Jyllands-Posten veröffentlicht wurden”
“Hip doesn't really come into play anymore as far as I can tell.”
“Hip hop - it's an art form but it's a culture as well. You grow up in the culture and you never leave it. It's a style of dress; it's a way of thought. I always grew up in the culture, and it was part of who I was and I carried it into every world I was in.”
“Hip Hop can be a very effective way to reach young people and teach them about current political and social issues.”
“Hip Hop can be a very powerful weapon to help expand young people's political and social consciousness. But just as with any weapon, if you don't know how to use it, if you don't know where to point it, or what you're using it for, you can end up shooting yourself in the foot or killing your sisters or brothers.”
“Hip hop culture has done more for race relations in American than anything since Martin Luther King. And I really believe that.”
“Hip hop dancing is more like choreography and it's more made up and you have to learn it. This, this Krump and Clowning you can't learn, it's just in you, the music moves you, you know. It's raw and organic, you know, it's like whatever comes out of you, you make it up tempo with the rhythm, you know, and it just comes out.”
