Ashoka

 * "Whoever praises his own religion, due to excessive devotion, and condemns others with the thought "Let me glorify my own religion," only harms his own religion. Therefore contact (between religions) is good. One should listen to and respect the doctrines professed by others. Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Piyadasi, desires that all should be well-learned in the good doctrines of other religions."

Buddha

 * Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

Ramacharitamanasa

 * मंगल भवन अमंगल हारी । द्रवउ सो दसरथ अजिर बिहारी

Dalai Lama

 * “If science proves facts that conflict with Buddhist understanding, Buddhism must change accordingly. We should always adopt a view that accords with the facts.”

Amir Khusro
من تو شدم تو من شدى من تن شدم تو جان شدى تاكس نگيد بعد ازين من ديگرم تو ديگرى


 * Man tu shudam, tu man shudi, man tan shudam, tu jan shudi;
 * Taakas nagoyad ba'ad azeen man deegaram tu deegari.

translated:


 * I have become you, and you me; I have become the body,
 * you the soul; So that none hereafter may say
 * that “I am someone and you someone else.
