Be The Change Quotes

“Wipe Out The I (The Sonnet) Once a person gives up all for others, They'll achieve everything worth achieving. The art of self-discovery is in self-annihilation, Whereas self-obsession only causes suffering. Once a person is insane with the sacrificial spirit, They'll know the meaning of civilized sanity. Once a person feels the joy of selflessness, All worldly pleasures will turn into foul vanity. Once a person hones the power of simplicity, They'll trash all trace of pomposity from life. Once a person senses the valor of humility, They'll discard all arrogant divide. Life is simple, but we mess it up with selfishness. Wipe out the I, and you will taste its sweetness.”

“Law of Sacrifice (The Sonnet) The more you give life, The more you'll have life. The more you give light, The more you'll have light. The more the I gets lost in others, The more you'll end all bigoted strife. The more you take pain for those around, The more you'll know the joy of life. Worst of all superstitions is selfishness, It keeps an animal from becoming human. Let the mind be cleansed of all self, So our heart becomes a mirror for every person. Reject all selfishness that makes you cold and blind. Sacrifice is the law behind all love and light.”

“Struggle my friend - struggle till the last breath in your body - for only when a handful of lionhearts struggle through their whole life for the betterment of others, can the children of tomorrow live in a civilized dawn.”

“The Maker (Sonnet) Step by step we'll reach the mountaintop, We'll build roads penetrating impediments. Bit by bit we'll trash our conformities, We’ll erect civilization upon reason and sentiments. Day and night we'll stand tall in service, Through storm, rain, heat and gloom. There's no time for selfishness, Being selfish would bring universal doom. Sanity is in giving and caring, It’s in every act of collective concern. Because if you care only for the self, Deserting your children your neighbors will run. The world is our home and we must be its caretaker. Comfort is luxury, it’s time we rise as the maker.”

“It is easier to blame the politicians and civil servants than to take responsibility for the issues of one's own society. Society is us, so its issues are our responsibility - they are the responsibility of each one of us, from the scientist to the civil servant, from the janitor to the teacher, from the preacher to the sex-worker.”

“We can live by the things that just happen each day, Or dream up a vision to show us the way. For the greatest power, the biggest of all, Is the spark of a thought that can rise and stand tall. So let’s start to dream, let’s start to create, A world full of hope, not sorrow or hate. The power’s in us, let’s all join the fun, And build the bright future for everyone! A place full of wonder, full of what we hold dear, Where what we believe in is what will appear The choice is ours, it’s plain to see, We’ll shape the world that’s meant to be!”

“How to change the world: • spread positivity • bring people up instead of dragging them down • treat others the way you wish to be treated”

“Till this moment, I have not enjoyed a single second as an ordinary human being, yet I do not regret it, because I am responsible – I am responsible for what happens to you – I am responsible for what happens to your neighbor – I am responsible for what happens to this world.”
