“It's a big mistake to think that your own cause, or your own country, or your own side has God in its corner. For one thing, it commits the sin of pride.”

“I say it is not your pride that you are a Madrasi, it is not your pride that you a Brahmin, it is not your pride that you belong to South India, it is not your pride that you are a Hindu, that it is your pride that you are an Indian". "But this must transcend even national borders and extend to humanity because if ideas be only for the prosperity of your country, it would end where it began, by being a prophet to your own community and very probably to your own self.”

“Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's.”

“The act of sinning is to allow your will to become rebellious, or do the things wrong that are under your own control.”

“You have a list of things that you want to do in life—to own your own house, to own your own car, to own your own yacht. [Making] wine was on my list, because it has a particular glamour to it.”

“Oh won't you stay
Stay a while with your own ones
Don't ever stray
Stray so far from your own ones
'Cause the world is so cold
Don't care nothing for your soul
That you share with your own ones.”

“There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.”

“Your own brain ought to have the decency to be on your side!”

“If I listened to your advice, I'd be making your mistakes instead of my own.”

“Remake the world, a little at a time, each in your own corner of the world.”
