“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”

“Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.”

“Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.”

“However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?”
