Swami Vivekananda
We must have friendship for all; we must be merciful toward those that are in misery; when people are happy, we ought to be happy; and to the wicked we must be indifferent. These attitudes will make the mind peaceful.
This is one of my favourite quotes.

Shri Shri Ravishankar
Sri Sri teaches internationally, reminding us that the great spiritual traditions have common goals and values. His simple message of love, practical wisdom, and compassion continues to inspire people from all walks of life, and he encourages everyone to follow their chosen religious or spiritual path while honoring the path of others. "The only true security that can be found in this world," says Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, "is in the very process of giving love ."

Bertrand Russell
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.
