India believes in taking everyone together. Nepal was rattled with an earthquake. We provided assistance to them. We did so, on the grounds of humanity. Be it Yemen or Maldives, we tried to provide assistance at our best. Humanity is our central inspiration.
Praise the green earth. Chance has appointed her home, workshop, larder, middenpit. Her lousy skin scabbed here and there by cities provides us with name and nation.
Happiness does not fall out of the blue and dreams will not come true by themselves. We need to be down-to-earth and work hard. We should uphold the idea that working hard is the most honorable, noblest, greatest and most beautiful virtue.
The reality is, there’s not a single person on planet earth who would ever pay to hear you sing.
We placed the wreaths upon the splendid granite sarcophagus, and at its feet, and felt that only the earthly robe we loved so much was there. The pure, tender, loving spirit which loved us so tenderly, is above us - loving us, praying for us, and free from all suffering and woe - yes, that is a comfort, and that first birthday in another world must have been a far brighter one than any in this poor world below!
Look there's no metaphysics on earth like chocolates.
The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble the most beautiful marble you can imagine.
Work is of two kinds: first altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relative to other matter second telling other people to do so.
I tend to go for women with common sense. Being down to earth stands out more than looks.
It's always wonderful to get to know women with the mystery and the joy and the depth. If you can make a woman laugh you're seeing the most beautiful thing on God's Earth.
Women love always: when earth slips from them they take refuge in heaven.
Whether the aim is in heaven or on earth wisdom or wealth the essential condition of its pursuit and attainment is always security and order.
Surely God on high has not refused to give us enough wisdom to find ways to bring us an improvement in relations between the two great nations on earth.
I always prayed that God would give me the wisdom and the vision to do the things on this earth that I was supposed to do to express His life and love and His will.
The Divine wisdom has given us prayer not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth but as a means whereby we learn to do without them not as a means whereby we escape evil but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it.
Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to do.
Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?
The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.
This programme to stop nuclear by 2020 is just crazy. If there were a nuclear war and humanity were wiped out the Earth would breathe a sigh of relief.
War makes strange giant creatures out of us little routine men who inhabit the earth.
My first wish is to see this plague of mankind war banished from the earth.
I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.
You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.
