TEN MISCELLANEOUS QUOTES

 

                   TEN MISCELLANEOUS  QUOTES

I.                         All tremble on violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill. –Lord Gautam Buddha (563 BCE -  583 BCE).

II.                       An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.---Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948).

III.                   A man should wander about treating all creatures as he himself be treated,. Hence, putting himself in the the place of the other, let him not kill or cause others to kill. ----Lord Mahavira (599 BC-527 BC).  

IV.                    For one who has conquered his mind, a mind is best of friends, but for one who has failed to do so a mind is the greatest enemy. ---Bhagavad  Gita ( Written Between 5th century BCE and the 2nd century BCE)

V.                      Truth controls rhis world and dharma is rooted in truth,----The Ramayana (Generally dated between the 8th and 4th centuries BCE). .

VI.                    Praise  be to Allah, the Lord of the entire universe. ---The Quran,

VII.           Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is admirable --- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy ---think about such things. -----A Biblical teaching.

VIII.         May Lord Ganesha bring an end to suffering and bring peace to all. ------A prayer

IX.                    Certainly, this is a duty ---not a sin. --- Cleanliness is, indeed, next to Godliness. ----John Wesley --- English theologian (1703-1791).

X.                       Faith is a certain image of eternity. All things are present to it ---things past, and things to come; it converses with angels, and antedates the hymns of glory. Every man that hath this grace is as certain there are glories for him, if he perseveres in duty, as if he had heard and sung the thanksgiving song for the blessed sentence of doomsday,---Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667), a cleric in the Church of England.
