"A human being is nothing but a symbol of this universe. We are each one of us a universe in ourselves. We have in us the wisdom of the owl, the strength of the lion, the viciousness of the tiger, the poison of the snake, the gentleness of the rabbit, the fleetness of the deer, the beautiful vision of the hawk. We have within us everything. Kill something outside and you kill that within yourself. Create something in you which is beautiful and you create that outside. The old tradition says that this universe is a mirror."
Shri. P Rajagopalachari
"When you change something in a painting, you don't only change that something, you change the whole thing. The whole painting changes. So, if I am changing myself, the whole universe must change. And that is what philosophy says, that is what religions have preached: change yourself and the universe changes. But if you try to change that, you cannot make a duck into a peacock. Isn't it? So the secret of universal change is to change yourself."
Shri. P Rajagopalachari
"Be civil to all, sociable to many, familiar with few, friend to one, enemy to none."
Benjamin Franklin
