More From Paul Harvey

I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and that also that all had some error in them, and while i hold by my own religion, i should hold other religions as dear as hinduism. so we can only pray, if we were hindus, not that a christian should become a hindu; but our innermost prayer should be that a hindu should become a better hindu, a muslim a better muslim, and a christian a better christian.

I used to smoke marijuana. but i'll tell you something: i would only smoke it in the late evening. oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. just the early evening, midevening and late evening. occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . but never at dusk!

The life of an indian is like the wings of the air. that is why you notice the hawk knows how to get his prey. the indian is like that. the hawk swoops down on its prey, so does the indian. in his lament he is like an animal. for instance, the coyote is sly, so is the indian. the eagle is the same. that is why the indian is always feathered up, he is a relative to the wings of the air.

We're importing hinduism into america. the whole thought of your karma, of meditation, of the fact that there's no end of life and there's this endless wheel of life, this is all hinduism. chanting too. many of those chants are to hindu gods — vishnu, hare krishna. the origin of it is all demonic. we can't let that stuff come into america. we've got the best defense, if you will — a good offense.
Karma America Meditation
My own interest in yoga came from a vague understanding of indian thought and indian philosophy in the late sixties and early seventies and from looking at the idea of meditation and at what meditation was.
Philosophy Yoga Ideas
If untouchability lives, hinduism perishes and even india perishes, but if untouchability is eradicated from the hindu heart, root and branch, then hinduism has a definite message for the world.

This is the essential element that cannot be measured by any analysis or device, and i believe it's at the heart of success in all things: the power of intuition and the ability to harness and use it like a master.
Success Believe Heart
Most poets, most good poets even, no longer have the heart to write about what is most terrible in the world of the present: the bombs waiting beside the rockets, the hundreds of millions staring into the temporary shelter of their television sets, the decline of the west that seems less a decline than the fall preceding an explosion.
Fall Writing Heart
To inspire love is a woman's greatest ambition, believe me. it's the one thing woman care about and there's no woman so proud that she does not rejoice at heart in her conquests.
