Self-restraint is a manifestation of greater power than all outgoing action. ... All outgoing energy following a selfish motive is frittered away; it will not cause power to return to you.

Fools do not know this secret; they nevertheless want to rule mankind.
- Swami Vivekanand

"The principles you live by create the world you live in; if you change the principles you live by, you will change your world."
