If you don't feed the poor, the capitalist will disappear. Who is going to work for him? Whom is he going to exploit? So it is a very cunning game. The rich man goes on donating a small portion of his exploitation to the church...

Ten percent, fifteen percent, okay; when it comes to the point of paying one hundred percent, it is better to give in charity rather than giving it to the government. It is people's money: if they had not given it to charity, they would have had to give it to the government. So on the exploitation of people they...

It is the people's money, it...

When I was arrested in America and without any reason they, in their minds, harassed me -- I was not harassed, I enjoyed the whole trip.

Food prepared carelessly is cold, it will take a longer time to absorb it, and food prepared with anger, hatred, jealousy, is already poisoned.

One man rushed into his general manager's office and said, "You are such an idiot, and I used to think you were my friend..." They worked in the same office and had the same status. But the first man got a pay raise and just to make his friend's wife jealous, his friend...

The husband had to console her and he was feeling guilty: "I am sorry that I did it, but how did you manage to know?" She said, "Your friend phoned so I was waiting for the whole month to see... You talk so much about trust and faith. What happened to the trust and faith? You were being faithless and what were...

If you put your energy into objects, you will live a life of non-understanding...

He even forgot why he went on purchasing them; it became a habit, an obsession. But one day what happened was, a...

He immediately locked the shop and threw the keys into the well - because now what was the use of those keys and that shop? - and he took the suitcases full of notes to his house. In one year's time, he wasted all the money: prostitutes, alcohol, gambling - whatever was possible, whatever money could do - he did...

There had been so much to do, and so much money; he had been perhaps the busiest person in the whole world. When he looked in the mirror he could not believe that it was he, because he had grown at least ten years older...

He was a healthy man, but now with alcohol and prostitutes and gambling - with all that together - he looked as if he was just going to die within a few days. He said, "My God, what have I done?" He went to the well and jumped in to try to find his keys, because again the shop had to...
