• If the nobles of the country really have the welfare of the people at heart, they should prevent and forbid music wherever it makes an appearance. For the fact that the people practise music has four disadvantages. The hungry are not fed, the cold are not clothed, the homeless are not sheltered and the desperate find no consolation.

• He who is a beginner on the way must not be brought to practise the commandments by kindness alone, but must more often be induced to continue the struggle by being rigorously reminded of God's judgment. In this way he will not only be moved by love to desire what is divine, but will be moved by fear to avoid what is evil. For 'I will sing to Thee, O Lord, of mercy and judgment' (Ps. 101:1 LXX). He will sing to God charmed by love, and steeled by fear he will have strength for the song.

• Este hombre es lo bastante sabio para hacerse el tonto; y para hacerlo bien requiere una especie de ingenio: Debe observar el humor de quien bromea, la calidad de las personas, y el tiempo, y, como el ojeroso, comprobar cada pluma que se le presenta. Esta es una practica tan llena de trabajo como el arte de un hombre sabio Para la locura que sabiamente muestra que es apropiada; Pero los hombres sabios, caidos en la locura, manchan su ingenio.

• Practise any one of the human values. Prema (love) is the basis for all the values. Action with love is right conduct. Speak with love and it becomes truth. Thinking with love results in peace. Understanding with love leads to non-violence. For everything love is primary. Where there is love there is no place for hatred.

  Sathya Sai Baba

• It would have been cruel in Miss Havisham, horribly cruel, to practise on the susceptibility of a poor boy, and to torture me through all these years with a vain hope and an idle pursuit, if she had reflected on the gravity of what she did. But I think she did not. I think that in the endurance of her own trial, she forgot mine, Estella.

• I know of no other practise which will make one more attractive in conversation than to be well-read in a variety of subjects. There is a great potential within each of us to go on learning. Regardless of our age, unless there be serious illness, we can read, study, drink in the writings of wonderful men and women. It is never too late to learn.

• When? At this time, while you have all the opportunities, if you do not do your best to achieve the pure, stainless path to enlightenment when will you do it? If you don't meditate, don't practise the graduated path to enlightenment, especially bodhicitta, in this life, then when? When will you practise? When will you have this realization? If, in this life, you don't achieve renunciation, bodhicitta and sunyata, as well as the two stages of tantra, when will you? When will you have these attainments? When will you become enlightened? When will you perform perfect work for sentient beings?

• I horse ride. I find it is the best way to maintain my fitness and stay physical. I have to practise anyway for my equestrian front. I do dressage and schooling too. I also do physical training where I work on my neck and upper body strength. Racing is a high endurance sport and you are in the car for a long time so this area is crucial.

• Los grandes banqueros del mundo, que practican el terrorismo del dinero, son más poderosos que reyes y mariscales de campo, incluso más que el mismísimo Papa de Roma. Nunca se ensucian las manos. No matan a nadie: se limitan a aplaudir el espectáculo.

• Fui al bosque porque deseaba vivir deliberadamente, afrontar sólo los hechos esenciales de la vida, y ver si no podía aprender lo que tenía que enseñar, y no descubrir, cuando llegara la hora de morir, que no había vivido. No quería vivir lo que no era vida, vivir es tan caro; tampoco quería practicar la resignación, a menos que fuera del todo necesario. Quería vivir profundamente y chupar toda la médula de la vida, vivir tan robusta y espartanamente como para acabar con todo lo que no era vida, cortar una amplia franja y afeitarla de cerca, arrinconar la vida y reducirla a sus términos más bajos.

  Henry David Thoreau

• Through Yoga, anybody can attain; it's a God realisation; you just practise Yoga and if you really mean it, then you'll do it. There's Yogis that have done it to such a degree that they're God, they're like Christ and they can walk on the water and materialise bodies and they can do all those tricks.
