As person abandons worn-out clothes and acquires new ones, so when the body is worn out a new one is acquired by the Self, who lives within. – Bhagavad Gita
As a man can drink water from any side of a full tank, so the skilled theologian can wrest from any scripture that which will serve his purpose. – Bhagavad Gita
Little by little, through patience and repeated effort, the mind will become stilled in the Self. – Bhagavad Gita
Those who eat too much or eat too little, who sleep too much or sleep too little, will not succeed in meditation. But those who are temperate in eating and sleeping, work and recreation, will come to the end of sorrow through meditation. – Bhagavad Gita
A particular face shows determination merely by the turn of the moustache; but the moustache is robbed of all its expression unless it be worn by itself. Accompanied by the other parts of the beard, it loses its originality, it ceases to be a marked characteristic of will or temper. – Charles Blanc, Art in Ornament and Dress, 1875
