Serenity shrinks as luxury grows.

Every time you waste money on nonessentials, you are essentially contributing to the economic disparities of the world.

People often ask me, why don't I wear suits, I tell them, to you, attire defines a person, to me, character defines a person.

To be big doesn't mean to be big in appearance, but in existence.

Discard luxury and practice simplicity.

I wish I could tell you that all the comfort and luxuries in the world are a sign of progress, but they are not - they are a sign of disparities - and these disparities can only go away with our sacrifice - with the sacrifice of the humanitarians - some must give all, all must give some, only then will there be actual civilized, sane, healthy and whole progress - progress that includes all of humanity, not just the privileged few.

Never confuse luxury with necessity.

Travel doesn't expand a narrow mind - a mind that is narrow and self-obsessed, remains narrow and self-obsessed no matter how much they travel.

Self-gratification to the point of sustaining oneself is healthy, but beyond that, it's not only unhealthy, but downright inhuman.
