•Our hearts are filled with such ease and contentment that if kings came to know of it they would come with armies to rob us of this wealth.

•Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you're a vegetarian.

•People who fight fire with fire usually end up with ashes.

•Money doesn't change people, it only exposes them.

•There are two kinds of speeches and two kinds of silences. Speech is either truth or a falsification, and silence is either fruition or heedlessness. If one speaks the truth, his words are better than his silence, but he who invents falsifications, his silence is better than his speech.

•People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.

•If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.

Happiness does not exist as an isolated quality, nor does it conform to a single fixed pattern. Happiness is something that breathes and lives in the relationships between one person and another.

***************************************

Even places that have been shrouded in darkness for billions of years can be illuminated. Even a stone from the bottom of a river can be used to produce fire. Our present sufferings, no matter how dark, have certainly not continued for billions of years--nor will they linger forever. The sun will definitely rise. In fact, its ascent has already begun.

***************************************

As long as we are human, we are bound to make mistakes. We all fall prey to flawed beliefs and views. What distinguishes a forward-looking person from an intransigent one, a virtuous person from a dishonest one, however, is whether one can candidly admit to one's mistakes and take bold steps to redress them.

***************************************

It is much more valuable to look for the strengths in others--you gain nothing by criticizing people's imperfections.

***************************************

The word "character" originated from the Greek words meaning "sculpture" and "impression." Character, then, could be thought of that which is shaped or etched. It may be true from a medical perspective that our psychological and physiological traits are generally predetermined genetically. Knowing this, however, adds little to our lives. The only issue that matters is how we can better ourselves here and now.

***************************************

"Nonviolence" does not merely mean to refrain from violence. Violence erupts when one person blames another for a problem or conflict. Conversely, nonviolence is a way of life in which one resolves; let me be the one to change first. If this spirit were to be embraced, how much more at peace would our families and society itself be.

***************************************

Human life is indeed wondrous. You may be ill physically, but as long as your mental state is strong, it most certainly will exert a positive influence on your body. There may be no better remedy than hope.

***************************************

Iron, when heated and pounded, becomes a fine sword. Likewise, Buddhism teaches that our true strength and potential cannot be forged without hardships. (Budhism)

***************************************

Kisi insan ki khoobi ko pehchano aur usay bayan karo. lekin agar khaami mil jaye to yahan tumhari khoobi ka imtehaan hay.

"The heart is what is important." There is nothing more vulnerable, nothing more corruptible than the human mind; nor is there anything as powerful, steadfast and ennobling.

***************************************

Trust is difficult to earn and it is easily lost--the trust built over a decade can be shattered in an instant by one offhanded remark or deed. A person who is not swayed from his chosen path, even during the most trying times, will ultimately find that he or she is trusted by all.

***************************************

Everything depends on what is in our hearts. If we decide to ourselves that something is impossible, then, consistent with our minds in thinking so, even something that is possible for us will become impossible. On the other hand, if we have the confidence that we can definitely do something, then we are already one step closer to achieving it in reality.

***************************************

Life is best lived by being bold and daring. People tend to grow meek when they taste failure, face a daunting challenge or fall ill. Yet that is precisely the time to become even bolder. Those who are victors at heart are the greatest of all champions.

***************************************

True love should be transformative, a process that amplifies our capacity to cherish not just one person but all people. It can make us stronger, lift us higher and deepen us as individuals. Only to the extent that one polishes oneself now can one hope to develop wonderful bonds of the heart in the future.

***************************************

A person who cannot genuinely empathize with others can never excel as a leader. So much of what ails society today is the result of too many people in leadership positions who do not or cannot identify with the plight of their fellow men and women. It is in enduring pain and struggles that the earth of our humanity is cultivated. And it is from this earth that a capacity to be genuinely concerned for the welfare of others blossoms.

***************************************

Ideal love is fostered only between two sincere, mature and independent people. It is the inner struggle to polish these attributes that is the key. Real love is not two people clinging to each other; it can only be fostered between two strong people secure in their individuality.

***************************************

Ultimately, our battle is with ourselves. Whether in our activities in society, or in historical, political or economic developments, everything essentially boils down to a struggle between positive and negative forces.

***************************************

One of my favorite Argentine poets, the great educator Almafuerte (1854-1917) wrote: "To the weak, difficulty is a closed door. To the strong, however, it is a door waiting to be opened." Difficulties impede the progress of those who are weak. For the strong, however, they are an opportunity to open wide the doors to a bright future. Everything is determined by our attitude, by our resolve. Our heart is what matters most.

The problems confronting humankind are daunting in their depth and complexity. While it may be hard to see where to begin--or how--we must never give in to cynicism or paralysis. We must each initiate action in the direction we believe to be right. We must refuse the temptation to passively accommodate ourselves to present realities and embark upon the challenge of creating a new reality.

***************************************

Guftgu se samajh mein izafa hota hay, lekin Tanhayi wo madrisa hay jahan azeem zehan bantay hain.

It is not about how others are or how society is. The most important thing is to ask yourself, “What should I do?” and “What can I do?” One who stands up with moral courage and conviction can change society and create waves of transformation around the world.

***************************************

The greatest resource that humankind has is to be found within human life itself. This treasure can be endlessly mined and developed. To believe in and encourage youth, bringing out their wisdom and strength, this is the challenge and purpose of education.

***************************************

People who can admire true greatness are happy people. Such admiration also serves to elevate one’s own existence. By opening wide the doors of our hearts we can broaden our own horizons and strengthen our belief in life. A breakdown in this capacity to praise and respect others can lead to inflexibility and self-righteousness.

***************************************

In dwelling, be close to the land.
In meditation, go deep in the heart.
In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.
In speech, be true.
In ruling, be just.
In business, be competent.
In action, watch the timing.

***************************************

Only when we learn to channel the energy we direct toward winning over others into winning over ourselves can we begin to develop our humanity.

***************************************

Everything is in the mind. That's where it all starts. Knowing what you want is the first step toward getting it.

***************************************

Vanity is definitely my favourite Sin. (Satan)

***************************************

When we draw strength from within, our outlook undergoes a dramatic transformation; everything around us looks completely different. To be strong--that is the key to happiness.

***************************************

When you devote yourself to achieving your goal, you will not be bothered by shallow criticism. Nothing important can be accomplished if you allow yourself to be swayed by some trifling matter, always looking over your shoulder and wondering what others are saying or thinking. The key to achievement is to move forward along your chosen path with determination.

***************************************

How aware are we of our own inner life, our spirituality--something so intangible yet so priceless? How much effort do we make to perceive that which is not obvious, which can neither be seen nor heard? I believe the exploration and enrichment of the human spirit is what determines our very humanity. Such enrichment provides an inner compass that can lead civilizations to greatness.

***************************************

"Although gold dust is precious, when it gets in your eyes, it obstructs your vision." Hsi-Tang

***************************************

"If you live the sacred and despise the ordinary, you are still bobbing in the ocean of delusion." Zen Master Lin-Chi

***************************************

Everyone born in this world has a unique role that only he or she can fulfill. Were this not the case, we would not be here. The universe never acts without cause; everything invariably has a reason for being. Even the weeds people love to loathe serve a purpose. I might even say that every cherry blossom has its own personality, a purpose and meaning in life that is unique to it--as do the plum, peach and damson.

***************************************

"Anything that is created must sooner or later die. Enlightenment is permanent because we have not produced it; we have merely discovered it." Chogyam Trungpa

***************************************

“No one is a firmer believer in the power of prayer than the devil; not that he practices it, but he suffers from it.”
(Guy H. King)

“Pray often; for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan” John Bunyan

***************************************

You must not yoke yourself to nationality or to ethnicity. You must not think of yourself as powerless, or as "no more than a collection of matter." You must not regard yourself as a slave to your genes. Fundamentally, all human beings have limitless and immense potential.

***************************************

The worst mistake you can make is to give up on yourself and stop challenging yourself for fear of failure. Keep moving forward with a firm eye on the future, telling yourself, "I'll start from today!" "I'll start afresh from now, from this very moment!"

***************************************

The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it.

***************************************

Nothing happens by chance. Everything has meaning. Please be convinced that your inner life is already endowed with everything you need. No matter how difficult your situation may be, you are alive now, and there is no treasure more precious than life itself.
(Budhism)

***************************************

Effort and hard work construct the bridge that connects your dreams to reality. Those who make steady efforts are full of hope. And hope, in turn, arises from steady efforts. Embrace your dreams and advance as far as they can take you.

***************************************

Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilites: it is this which in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.

***************************************

To be uncertain is to be uncomfortable.
To be certain is to be ridiculous.
Chinese proverb

***************************************

Our lives inherently possess a boundless energy. Summoning this forth, we can break through the shell of the small self that constrains our lives. The process of revolutionizing our own lives and helping others to do the same transforms society and ultimately elevates the state of humanity.

Our ability to respect others is the true mark of our humanity. Respect for other people is the essence of human rights.

The problems confronting humankind are daunting in their depth and complexity. While it may be hard to see where to begin--or how--we must never give in to cynicism or paralysis. We must each initiate action in the direction we believe to be right. We must refuse the temptation to passively accommodate ourselves to present realities and embark upon the challenge of creating a new reality.

Heaven endures and the earth last a long time because they do not live for themselves.

When the people of the world all know beauty as beauty, there arises the recognition of ugliness. When they all know the good as good, there arises the recognition of evil.

Be courageous - it's the only place left uncrowded.

It is in the ocean of dialogue that a person can become truly human. Dialogue is an epic challenge which first requires you to change yourself, rather than trying to change others.

When we find ourselves facing adversity, we may think we've reached our limit, but actually the more trying the circumstances, the closer we are to making a breakthrough. The darker the night, the nearer the dawn. Victory in life is decided by that last concentrated burst of energy filled with the resolve to win.

When people are born they are supple, and when they die they are stiff. When trees are born they are tender, and when they die they are brittle. Stiffness is thus a cohort of death, flexibility is a cohort of life.

Scheme not to make what's another's your own.
Be not a dog for the sake of a bone.
(Arthur Gutterman)

Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared,
for the greatest fool may ask more than
the wisest man can answer.
(Charles Colton)

Words spoken from the heart have the power to change a person’s life. They can even melt the icy walls of mistrust that separate peoples and nations.
The seeds of firm conviction already contain within them the flowers and fruits of happiness.

Sometimes I wish I were a little kid again; skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts.

On hundred victory in one hundred battles is not the most skillful, seizing the enemy without fighting is the most skillful. Sun Tze,'The Art of War'

When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece. John Ruskin, author, art critic, and social reformer (1819-1900)

In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people. Judy Garland, actress and singer (1922-1969)

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

Nelson Mandela, activist, South African president, Nobel laureate (b. 1918)
