“هنالك أحوال ينبغي للإنسان فيها أن يبدأ هو بالخروج من الجنة في عزم وشجاعة قبل أن يطرد منها طرداً
إني أرى الجنة الزائلة شيئاً مخيفاَ ،وأتمنى أن تزول بإرادتي أنا .. وأخشى أن تذهب دون أن أستبقي منها على الأقل شيئاً جميلاً أو عملاً عظيماً”

“First of all, Buddhism is neither pessimistic nor optimistic. If anything at all, it is realistic, for it takes a realistic view of life and the world. It looks at things objectively (yathābhūtam). It does not falsely lull you into living in a fool's paradise, nor does it frighten and agonize you with all kinds of imaginary fears and sins. It tells you exactly and objectively what you are and what the world around you is, and shows you the way to perfect freedom, peace, tranquility and happiness.”

“أتدري ما الظلم؟
الظلم أن تقرأ أربعين كتاباً كل عام، ثم يقولون إن العربي يقرأ ربع صفحة كل عام.
لقد وزعوا كل ما قرأت على ثلاثمائة مليون عربيّ!”

“A strange thing happened to me in my dream. I was rapt into the Seventh Heaven. There sat all the gods assembled. As a special dispensation I was granted the favor to have one wish. "Do you wish for youth," said Mercury, "or for beauty, or power, or a long life; or do you wish for the most beautiful woman, or any other of the many fine things we have in our treasure trove? Choose, but only one thing!" For a moment I was at a loss. Then I addressed the gods in this wise: "Most honorable contemporaries, I choose one thing — that I may always have the laughs on my side." Not one god made answer, but all began to laugh. From this I concluded that my wish had been granted and thought that the gods knew how to express themselves with good taste: for it would surely have been inappropriate to answer gravely: your wish has been granted.”
