Our thoughts

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

Anything impossible

Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin ? to say that you are weak, or others are weak.

A human being

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

More intelligent

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.

Nothing is a miracle

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Learn the rules

You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

Don't Care

I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference!

Truth

Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.

Lazy habits

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

Golden rule

Do something every day that you don't want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.

If you are

Good Life Quotes:

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway…
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.

The greatest disease

The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.

Precious life

Never waste a minute of your precious life by squandering it thinking about people you don't like.

One idea

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.

Life is full of beauty

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.

Habit is habit

Habit is habit, and not to be flung out the window by man, but coaxed downstairs, a step at a time.

Education

Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.

The ideals

The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible.

Be True

"And this above all unto thine own self be true and it shall follow as the day the night - thou can'st not then be false to any man."

Read

"A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read."

Come to me

"Think not lightly of evil, saying, 'It will not come to me.' Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the fool, gathering it little by little, fills himself with evil."

Smile

"Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."

So Fast

I'm so fast that last night I turned the light switch off in my bedroom and I was in bed before the room was dark.

Few Drops

"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty."

No Time

"I don't really have time to sit down and write. But when I think of a melody, I call up my answering machine and sing it, so I won't forget it."

You Feel

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

To be Kind

"I must be cruel only to be kind; Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind."

Keep Moving

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
