1. CHANGE
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being
able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being
able to remake ourselves.”
2. CONTROL
“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”
3. FORGIVENESS
“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of
the strong.”
“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”
4. ACTION
“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”
5. THE PRESENT MOMENT
“I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with
taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment
following.”
6. EVERYONE IS HUMAN
“I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any
other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my
errors and to retrace my steps.”
“It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is
healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might
err.”
7. PERSIST
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they
fight you, then you win.”
8. GOODNESS
“I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being
faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.”
“I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today
it means getting along with people.”
9. TRUTH
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what
you do are in harmony.”
“Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and
deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.”
10. DEVELOPMENT
“Constant development is the law of life, and a man who
always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives
himself into a false position.”
