“The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity.”
Mohandas Gandhi
“He who is engrossed in family life will never acquire knowledge; there can be no mercy in the eater of flesh; the greedy man will not be truthful; and purity will not be found in a woman a hunter.”
Chanakya
“Without modesty, woman is devoid of beauty and culture. Humility, purity of thought and manners, meekness, surrender to high ideals, sensitivity, sweetness of temper -the peculiar blend of all these qualities is modesty. It is the most invaluable of all jewels for women.”
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
“Brass is polished by ashes; copper is cleaned by tamarind; a woman, by her menses; and a river by its flow.”
“There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.”
Buddha
“Purity of heart is to will one thing.”
Soren Kierkegaard
“Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation ... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind.”
Leonardo da Vinci
