Yoga is not a religion. It is a science, science of well-being, science of youthfulness, science of integrating body, mind and soul.

Amit Ray

If people did not compliment one another there would be little society.

Luc De Clapiers

There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn't give a damn what goes on in between.

Sir Thomas Beecham

It is as painful perhaps to be awakened from a vision as to be born.

James Augustine

One pain is lessened by another's anguish.

William Shakespeare

To light a candle is to cast a shadow.

Ursula K. Le Guin

People shouldn't trust artists and they shouldn't trust art. Part of the fun of art is that it invites you to interpret it.

Tony Kushner

Happiness doesn't come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self-indulgence. One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a boy so that you can be useful and so you can enjoy life when you are a man.

Robert Baden-Powell

What fates impose, that men must needs abide; It boots not to resist both wind and tide

William Shakespeare

I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music, then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody.

Lauryn Hill

Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.

Boethius

Sir Peter Medawar
