The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

You should be the change that you want to see in the world.

An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world. Remark to Ernst Straus, one of his assistants.

Why change the world when we can change ourselves?

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

I believe that the civilisation into which India has evolved is not to be beaten in the world. Nothing can equal the seeds sown by our ancestry. Rome went; Greece shared the same fate; the might of the Pharaohs was broken; Japan has become westernised; of China nothing can be said; but India is still, somehow or other, sound at the foundation.

Stuff your eyes with wonder . . . live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.

The age of antiquity is the youth of the world.

I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that's habitat destruction.

The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.

The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind.

I've been put on this planet to protect wildlife and wildnerness areas, which in essence is gonna help humanity. I want to have the purest oceans, I want to be able to drink water straight outta that creek, I want to stop the ozone layer [from depleting], I want to save the world.

I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.

Don't let anybody make you think God chose America as his divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with justice and it seems I can hear God saying to America "you are too arrogant, and if you don't change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power, and I will place it in the hands of a nation that doesn't even know my name. Be still and know that I'm God. Men will beat their swords into plowshafts and their spears into pruning hooks, and nations shall not rise up against nations, neither shall they study war anymore." I don't know about you, I ain't going to study war anymore.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.

The mystical is not how the world is, but that it is.
