Quotes


"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
- Martin Luther King Jr.
To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means 
pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

"If one's thoughts towards spirituality were of the 
same intensity as those towards love, one would become a Buddha in this very body, in this very life."

~ from the Love Poems of the Sixth Dalai Lama ~ 
 
If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty inthe person. If there is beauty in the person, there
will be harmony in the house. If there is harmony in 
the house, there will be order in the nation. If thereis order in the nation, there will be peace in the 
world.

- Chinese Proverb
Love is a force that connects us to every strand of
the universe, an unconditional state that 
characterizes human nature, a form of knowledge that 
is always there for us if only we can open ourselves 
to it.

Emily H. Sell 
 
"In what you say of another, apply the test of 
kindness, necessity and truth, and let nothing pass 
your lips without a 2/3 majority."

"In your light I learn how to love.  In your beauty, how to make poems.  You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art." 
 
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi  Source: Wild Joy: The 
Ecstatic Poetry of Paul Goldman 
 
If I Adore You
 
If I adore you out of fear of Hell, burn me in Hell! 
If I adore you out of desire for Paradise,
Lock me out of Paradise.
But if I adore you for Yourself alone,
Do not deny me Your eternal beauty.
 
Rabia al Basri
From: Doorkeeper of the Heart: versions of Rabia, translated by Charles Upton 

Certain beliefs must accompany every action: One 
should act without selfishness, cultivate compassion 
for all living things, and develop respect for others.

It is not what we read, but what we remember that 
makes us learned. It is not what we intend but what wedo that makes us useful.  And, it is not a few faint 
wishes but a lifelong struggle that makes us valiant.

Henry Ward Beecher 
 
Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that 
happiness is at their heels.

just to be alive is a grand thing.

Agatha Christie

define yourself.

Babe Ruth
 
It is not by accident that the happiest people are those who make a conscious effort to live useful lives. 
Their happiness, of course, is not a shallow exhilaration where life is one continuous intoxicating party.  Rather, their happiness is a deep sense of inner peacethat comes when they believe their lives have meaning and that they are making a difference for good in the world.
 
Ernest Fitzgerald
  
Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to betrue is what we believe. What we believe is based uponour perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what welook for. What we look for depends upon what we think.What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we 
perceive determines what we believe. What we believe 
determines what we take to be true. What we take to 
be true is our reality.

-Gary Zukav 
 


I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. 
Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life itselfbut only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man and until I master this act I will remain no 
more than a peddler in the market place. I will make 
love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can 
defend upon its force... my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day.

-Og Mandino
  
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the
music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest 
thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful 
conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be 
built.

James Allen
 
Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing 
nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and 
you've done it. 

Margaret Thatcher 
 
Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would 
but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. 
Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, 
everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves
to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength,if faced with an open mind. 
Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.

Henry Miller
 
 
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the
same way, you learn to love by loving.

St. Francis De Sales
 


My mother drew a distinction between achievement and 
success. She said that achievement is the knowledge 
that you have studied and worked hard and done the 
best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying.
Always aim for achievement and forget about success.

Helen Hayes 
 
The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The 
person who knows WHY will always be his boss.

Diane Ravitch 
 
 
I am always doing things I can't do, that's how I get to do them.

Pablo Picasso


 
Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to 
look back.  Regret is an appalling waste of energy; 
you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing
in.

Katherine Mansfield 
 
God and I have become
 like two giant fat people
Living in a tiny boat.
We keep bumping into each other and laughing.
~Hafiz~
 
Separation ends when you begin to see yourself in all things.
