I am not an Athenian nor a Greek, but a citizen of the world.

Just as a mother would protect with her life her own son, her only son, so one should cultivate an unbounded mind towards all beings, and loving-kindness towards all the world.

All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.

Every idea has to become broad till it covers the whole of this world, every aspiration must go on increasing till it has engulfed the whole of humanity, nay, the whole of life, within its scope.

If you don't know the guy on the other side of the world, love him anyway because he's just like you. He has the same dreams, the same hopes and fears. It's one world, pal. We're all neighbors.

Show charity and goodwill to others and it will return to enhance your own life in many wonderful ways.
