'Brain and Body' by Swami Vivekananda in 'Letters.' Almora, 1898.

"Whether we call it Vedantism or any ism, the truth is that Advaitism is the last word of religion and thought and the only position from which one can look upon all religions and sects with love. We believe it is the religion of the future enlightened humanity. The Hindus may get the credit of arriving at it earlier than other races, they being an older race than either the Hebrew or the Arab; yet practical Advaitism, which looks upon and behaves to all mankind as one's own soul, is yet to be developed among the Hindus universally."

'Inner Freedom' by Albert Camus

"There is not a single true work of art that has not in the end added to the inner freedom of each person who has known and loved it...   An artist may make a success or a failure of his work. He may make a success or a failure of his life. But if he can tell himself that, finally, as a result of his long effort, he has eased or decreased the various forms of bondage weighing upon men, then in a sense he is justified and, to some extent, he can forgive himself.

Conclusion of 'Poet's Voice' by Kahlil Gibran

"My soul is my friend who consoles me in misery and distress of life. He who does not befriend his soul is an enemy of humanity, and he who does not find human guidance within himself will perish desperately. Life emerges from within, and derives not from environs.

"I came to say a word and I shall say it now. But if death prevents its uttering, it will be said by Tomorrow, for Tomorrow never leaves a secret in the book of Eternity.

I came to live in the glory of Love and the light of Beauty, which are the reflections of God. I am here living, and the people are unable to exile me from the domain of life for they know I will live in death. If they pluck my eyes I will hearken to the murmurs of Love and the songs of Beauty.

If they close my ears I will enjoy the touch of the breeze mixed with the incense of Love and the fragrance of Beauty. If they place me in vacuum, I will live together with my soul, the child of Love and Beauty. I came here to be for all and with all, and what I do to-day in my solitude will be echoed by Tomorrow to the people. What I say now with one heart will be said by tomorrow by many hearts."

'Connections' by (American Indian) Chief Seattle

"This we know. The Earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the Earth.

This we know. All things are connected like blood which unites one family. All things are connected.

Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself."

Albert Einstein

"Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding"
