When it is a question of money$$$ everybody is of the same religion.

I loved him as we always love for the first time; with idolatry and wild passion.

Optimism$$$ said Cacambo$$$ "What is that?" "Alas!" replied Candide$$$ "It is the obstinacy of maintaining that everything is best when it is worst."

Hindu religion does not consist in struggles and attempts to believe a certain doctrine or dogma$$$ but in realising -- not in believing$$$ but in being and becoming.

Realisation is real religion$$$ all the rest is only preparation hearing lectures$$$ or reading books$$$ or reasoning is merely preparing the ground; it is not religion.

Strength is life$$$ weakness is death.

The only way to rise is by doing the duty next to us$$$ and thus gathering strength go on until we reach the highest state.

It is the touch of the senses that brings all this quality of existence: heat and cold$$$ pleasure and pain.

So even though all the senses bring in sensations from nature$$$ the ocean -- like heart of the sage -- knows no disturbance$$$ knows no fear.

If a person who can [give a blow] forbears$$$ there is merit in that.
