“Accomplishments, they come and they go. They can’t touch our hearts. But the accomplishment of love, the accomplishment of living by our values, the accomplishment of actually sustaining compassion and growing higher and higher and higher and higher with affection among each other, that’s something beautiful.” – His Holiness Radhanath Swami 
“All right”“After a lecture, Prabhupada sometimes asked for questions from the audience. When he felt that he had answered enough, he said, ‘All right.’ Sometimes he said it with resignation, almost sadness. He seemed to mean, ‘All right, I’ve tried my best.’ Sometimes after answering many questions, Prabhupada’s utterance of ‘all right’ sounded disgusted. He had just given a wonderful parampara speech, and yet people were raising their hands and asking challenging, doubtful, or crazy questions. He looked out at the audience before him, sensing that they were not asking intelligent questions. ‘All right,’ he said, ‘let us have kirtana.’
“I remember Swamiji sharing an apple with us as the last act of the evening at 26 Second Avenue. When he said, ‘All right,’ it meant we had to leave. It was sad. Although we had just had such a nice meeting, it had to end, just like everything else in the material world. ‘All right,’ those souls who want to can return to their maya in Manhattan.”
