My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world.

My mother was the making of me. She was so true and so sure of me, I felt that I had someone to live for - someone I must not disappoint. The memory of my mother will always be a blessing to me.

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

We are hidden in ourselves, like a truth hidden in isolated facts. When we know that this One in us is One in all, then our truth is revealed.

Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute.

People exaggerate the value of things they haven't got. Everybody worships truth and unselfishness because they have no experience with them.
