What lies behind us and
what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. Don't judge each day by
the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant. Impossible is a word to
be found only in the dictionary of fools. A candle loses nothing
by lighting another candle. The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are
permitted to remain children all our lives. The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable
receiving. Try not to be a person of success, but rather a person of virtue Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes
a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite
direction. Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts
can be counted. I have deep faith that the principle of the universe will be beautiful
and simple. Truth is what stands the test of experience. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own
reason for existing. Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them. Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. The significant problems we face can not be solved at the same level of
thinking we were at when we created them. In the Midst of movement
and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. When you are content to
be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
The way to do is to be.
The moment you have in
your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the
delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is
transformed. Do not store up for
yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where
thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and
steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
For what profit is it to
a man if he gains the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what will a man
give in exchange for his soul? Peace I leave with you;
my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let
your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. But the fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control. The light in the eyes of
him whose heart is joyful, rejoices the heart of others. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it will move. --The Bible, Matthew 17:20 Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. --The Bible, 1 John 3:18 NRSV The kingdom
of Heaven is within you... -- Jesus: Bible Quotes By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is
noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience,
which is the bitterest. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials. Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all
the possible changes of life. There is no way to
happiness. Happiness is the way. Love is a fruit in
season at all times, and within reach of every hand. Kind words can be short
and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. If you judge people, you
have no time to love them. The weak can never
forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. In the attitude of
silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and
deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness Strength does not come
from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. Be the change you want
to see in the world. Hate the sin and love
the sinner. Live as if you were to
die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. Learn to be calm and you
will always be happy Inspiration generates
inspiration. It gives of itself to whatever it touches. Envy and fear cause the
face to pale, and love makes it glow. From Joy we came; for
Joy we live; and in the sacred divine joy we will one day melt again. Do not overrate what you
have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace
of mind. My religion is simple,
my religion is kindness. Remember there's no such
thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical
end. See God in every person, place, and thing, and all will be well in your world. --Louise Hay
