Exercise dissipates tension, and tension is the enemy of serenity. I found that I worked better and thought more clearly when I was in good physical condition, and so training became one of the inflexible disciplines of my life.

Running taught me valuable lessons. In cross-country competition, training counted more than intrinsic ability, and I could compensate for a lack of natural aptitude with diligence and discipline. I applied this in everything I did.

Life is tons of discipline.

I am a vegetarian as well as a passionate anti-alcoholic, because I can thus make better use of my brain.

Parents give birth; the Guru gives life. These life-givers are the soul of the magnificent building. The school building which the government can construct is like the body, but the teachers are the soul.

An organisation can only carry out its mandate if there is discipline, and where there is no discipline there can be no real progress.
