  • 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.

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.

  • It is always hard when reality intrudes on belief.

  • Statistics have shown that mortality increases perceptibly in the military during wartime.

  • You should treat as many patients as possible with the new drugs while they still have the power to heal.

  • The buffalo isn't as dangerous as everyone makes him out to be. Statistics prove that in the United States more Americans are killed in automobile accidents than are killed by buffalo.

  • It was one thing to have guessed it, another to have had that guess confirmed beyond possibility of refutation.
