“Only when man's life comes to its end in prosperity can one call that man happy.”

“The world is so unhappy because it is ignorant of the true Self. Man's real nature is happiness. Happiness is inborn in the true Self. Man's search for happiness is an unconscious search for his true Self. The true Self is imperishable; therefore, when a man finds it, he finds a happiness which does not come to an end.”

“There is only one way in which one can endure man's inhumanity to man and that is to try, in one's own life, to exemplify man's humanity to man.”

“Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.”

“Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity.”

“There comes a time in a man's life when he hears the call of the sea. If the man has a brain in his head, he will hang up the phone immediately.”

“Who is this that cries from the ends of the earth? Who is this one man who reaches to the extremities of the universe? He is one, but that one is unity. He is one, not one in a single place, but the cry of this one man comes from the remotest ends of the earth. But how can this one man cry out from the ends of the earth, unless he be one in all?”

“Whether happy or unhappy, life is the only treasure man possesses”

“Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.”

“Happiness can not come to any man capable of enjoying true happiness unless it comes as the sequel to duty well and honestly done.”
