“God wants us to speak to men so that they will feel it, so that they will never forget it. God means every Christian to be effective, to make a difference in the actual records and results of Christian work. God put each of us here to be a power. There is not one of us but is an essential wheel of the machinery and can accomplish all that God calls us to.”
“The sanctified body is one whose hands are clean. The stain of dishonesty is not on them, the withering blight of ill-gotten gain has not blistered them, the mark of violence is not found upon them. They have been separated from every occupation that could displease God or injure a fellow-man.”
“Our first duty is to satisfy the spiritual master, who can arrange for the Lord's mercy. A common man must first begin to serve the spiritual master or the devotee. Then, through the mercy of the devotee, the Lord will be satisfied. Unless one receives the dust of a devotee's lotus feet on one's head, there is no possibility of advancement. Unless one approaches a pure devotee, he cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
“Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose, But young men think it is, and we were young.”

“Coming from a background of being onstage, you're onstage for two and a half hours and you're in it for the whole time no matter what you're doing. Even if you don't have a line, you have to stay in it.”
“Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.”
“All too often people concentrate on finding the right spouse, little realizing that half of any marriage is being the right spouse.”
“No woman dresses below herself from mere caprice.”
“Death is as unexpected in his caprice as a courtesan in her disdain; but death is truer â€“ Death has never forsaken any man”
