First of all, observation. But when you put into experiment, and practically show, then it is science. They say that life is generated by combination of chemicals. So now show me by experiment, then it is science. Otherwise it is nonsense. The things are going on like this. They are suggesting that life is combination of chemical, but when you ask them to show it by experiment, “Wait for millions of years.” This is not science, this is rascaldom.
Prabhupada, August 11, 1976, Tehran.

Chanakya Pandit says that if there is one tree in the forest producing nice aromatic flower, that one tree can glorify the whole forest by the flavour of its flower. 

Similarly if there is one tree in whose cavity there is a little fire, that one tree can burn into ashes the whole forest.  So this simile is applicable anywhere. In a family if there is one good boy, he can glorify the whole family and similarly if there is bad boy he can turn the whole family into ashes.

It does not matter whether there is increase of population.   But if the people are unfaithful, they must be punished with starvation.  That is God’s will.

A little bit of a pure thing is much better than huge volumes of impure, adulterated things.

Always think of the Lotus Feet of Sri Krishna and you will find no difficulties in executing the tasks allotted to you by Krishna.

"The Krsna consciousness movement, to push on, requires great patience, perseverance, tolerance." 
Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.9.22
Mayapur, February 29, 1976

A devotee knows how to engage himself and others in the service of Krishna completely, as well as all the wealth of the world in the matter of propagating Krishna Consciousness.  Rest assured.

“A brahmana, even if he gets one lakh of rupees, one hundred thousands of rupees, still he is a beggar.”  Because he will not keep it.  He will immediately distribute it in charity.

  If one purposefully commits mistake and sinful life, “Now I am chanting Hare Krishna.  I can do all sinful life.  It will become counteracted,” That rascal will be punished very, very much. “I am living in Vrindavana. Oh, it is dhama, so let me do all nonsense. It will be counteracted.” They’ll be these cats and dogs and monkeys in Vrindavana.
  - Vrindavana, December 5, 1975.

Even if there are some dead metal utensils, but when they are together they make so much noise, so what to speak of living utensils.  This is natural, but since we are all pledged to work for Krishna we should follow the principle of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu: trnad api sunicena taror api sahisnuna.  This is Vaishnavism.  So my request is do not be agitated.  Let us do our duty honestly.
-Vrindavana, September 6, 1975.
