Guru Gobind Singh's respect for the Khalsa is best represented in one of his poems:

All the battles I have won against tyranny
I have fought with the devoted backing of the people;
Through them only have I been able to bestow gifts,
Through their help I have escaped from harm;
The love and generosity of these Sikhs
Have enriched my heart and home.
Through their grace I have attained all learning;
Through their help in battle I have slain all my enemies.
I was born to serve them, through them I reached eminence.
What would I have been without their kind and ready help?
There are millions of insignificant people like me.
True service is the service of these people.
I am not inclined to serve others of higher caste:
Charity will bear fruit in this and the next world,
If given to such worthy people as these;
All other sacrifices are and charities are profitless.
From toe to toe, whatever I call my own,
All I possess and carry, I dedicate to these people.

Robin Williams

I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone. You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it. Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves? I basically started performing for my mother, going, 'Love me!' What drives you to perform is the need for that primal connection. When I was little, my mother was funny with me, and I started to be charming and funny for her, and I learned that by being entertaining, you make a connection with another person. Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party! No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world. I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you. If women ran the world we wouldn't have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days. We've had cloning in the South for years. It's called cousins. Never pick a fight with an ugly person,

From 1 May 1876, she used the additional title of Empress of India. A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.  Affairs go on, and all will take some shape or other, but it keeps one in hot water all the time.  Being married gives one one's position like nothing else can.  For a man to strike any women is most brutal, and I, as well as everyone else, think this far worse than any attempt to shoot, which, wicked as it is, is at least more comprehensible and more courageous.  He speaks to Me as if I was a public meeting.  His purity was too great, his aspiration too high for this poor, miserable world! His great soul is now only enjoying that for which it was worthy! I am every day more convinced that we women, if we are to be good women, feminine and amiable and domestic, are not fitted t
