Some famous quotes by Amish:

  • “Hate is not the opposite of Love. It is apathy.”
  • “The opposite of love is not hate. Hate is just love gone bad. The actual opposite of love is apathy. When you don't care a damn as to what happens to the other person.”
  • “Whether a man is a legend or not is decided by history, not fortune tellers.”
  • “A person's ethics and character are not tested in good times. It is only in bad times that a person shows how steadfast he is to his dharma.”
  • “Weak people never admit that they are responsible for their own state. They always blame either circumstances or others.”
  • “The most powerful force in a woman's life is the need to be appreciated, loved and cherished for what she is.”
  • “A man becomes a Mahadev, only when he fights for good. A Mahadev is not born from his mother's womb. He is forged in the heat of battle, when he wages a war to destroy evil. Har Har Mahadev - All of us are Mahadev.”
  • “It is your karma to fight evil. It doesn't matter if the people that evil is being committed against don't fight back. It doesn't matter if the entire world chooses to look the other way. Always remember this. You don't live with the consequences of other people's karma. You live with the consequences of your own”
  • “Truth doesn't have to be liked. It only has to be spoken. Speak it out. The truth may hurt you, but it will set you free.”
  • “Creation and destruction are the two ends of the same moment. And everything between the creation and the next destruction is the journey of life.”
  • “Nothing is more important than life. Nothing. You realise the simplicity of that point only when you confront death everyday.”
  • “It's our greed to extract more and more from good that turns it into evil.”
  • “Standing by and doing nothing while a sin is committed is as bad as committing the sin itself”
  • “People do what their society rewards them to do. If the society rewards trust, people will be trusting”
  • “The distance between Evil and Good is a vast expanse in which many can exist without being either.”
