You're not your possessions, your desires, your habits, your fears, you're not even your body. You're simply nobody. Revel in the freedom of it.(Barefoot Doctor)

Keep balanced on both the foot that advances and the foot that retreats. Understand that retreat does not go backwards and advance does not go forwards.

To bear that which you think you cannot bear is really to bear.

Truth has no fixed abode; it's a living thing, more alive, more dynamic than anything the mind can think of, so there can be no path to it.

Fine horses can travel a hundred miles a day, but they cannot catch mice like terriers or weasels. All creatures have gifts of their own.

Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. (Benjamin Disraeli)

Sitting quietly, doing nothing, Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.

When inner and outer move as one, the harmony of wholeness is experienced.

Each moment that passes changes you. You do not, cannot possess even yourself. How can you hope to possess anyone or anything else?

To see beyond all boundaries to the subtle heart of things, dispense with names, with concepts, with expectations and ambitions and differences.

The prayer of the monk is not perfect until he no longer recognizes himself or the fact that he is praying. (St Anthony)

In moments of darkness and pain, remember all is cyclical.
Sit quietly behind your wooden door:
Spring will come again.
(Loy Ching Yuen)

Pressure
When you no longer resist them,
they no longer master you,
for their power over you is derived solely
from the force you pit against them.
(Alan Watts)

Acceptance is irrelevant; we will die whether we accept it or not. Realising that there is nothing you can do about it is very important.

You shall be free indeed when your days are not without care nor your nights without a want and a grief. But rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound. (Khalil Gibran)

There is no more difficult journey than the journey to the self.

When beauty is recognised as beauty, ugliness is created. When good is recognised as good, bad is created. (Lao Tzu)

Proper lightness springs from the root of heaviness. Proper action springs from the root of stillness.

If a traveller can remain calm and peaceful throughout the ordeals of an arduous journey, Then how much more is required of a leader in the heat of a crisis?

Without heaviness, lightness is frivolous. Without stillness, action is impetuous.

To me, real mastery is ease and effortlessness, with precision in movement and a realisation of one's own limitations. (John Painter)

Guilt warns us there is a gap between our values and our actions.

Intelligence simply means ability to respond, because life is a flux.
You have to be aware and to see what is demanded of you, what is the challenge of the situation. The intelligent person behaves according to the situation and the stupid according to ready-made answers.

The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.

You may lie with your mouth, but with the mouth you make as you do so you nonetheless tell the truth. (Nietzsche)

Sacrifice the plum tree to preserve the peach tree.

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. (Anais Nin)

Jub tu sabr kray,to apne nafs ko kamyabi or fatah ki basharat day~Mola Ali ibn.e.Abi Talib

"If you really want to do something, you will sure find a way.
If you do not, you will find an excuse".

When I was five years old my mom told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they told what I wanted to be happy when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me that I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand the life.

Don't be afraid to ask stupid questions. They are easier to handle than stupid mistakes.

"An error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it."

“You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness To emerge.”

You do not lose when you are defeated, you lose when you quit.

Always believe "I'm beautiful in my own way because ALLAH makes no mistake".

"When you give up on something, just think for a while about the reason why your held on to it for so long".

Life will hand you a lemon. The bigger it is, the more sour and tastier it is and more of lemonade you can make out of it. The bigger the sufferings, the bigger is the blessing and the bigger the challenge, the bigger is the reward.

What is the secret of success? "Right Decisions" How do you make right decisions? "Experience" and how do you get experience? "Wrong Decisions"

Strength doesn't come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths.

When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender that is what you call strength .

Normality is the essence of life.

If we become too emotional it is hard to lead life and if we become too practical it becomes tough to respect relations. So maintain balance and stay normal.

“Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted”

"A free lunch is only found in mousetraps"

"A good beginning makes a good end"

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Fake people are like pennies, two-faced and worthless.
They are sometimes good to have around you because they help you find out who are your real friends. They are pathetic when they smile in your face but they want to take your place. They are so fake that they make a barbie look real. Avoid them to save yourself!

Fixation is the way to death, fluidity is the way to life.

Remember always that a wise man walks with his head bowed; humble like the dust.

Those who lack wisdom are convinced that they are truly awake;
they think they understand what is happening;
they think that the king is really the king,
and the servants are really servants.

Look at misfortune the same way you look at success. Don't panic! Do your best and forget the consequences. (Walt Alston)

Self-discovery is not possible if you are not prepared to be genuine.

No.
Try not.
Do or do not.
There is no try.
(Yoda)

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. (Gandhi)

The perfect man employs his mind as a mirror.
It grasps nothing; it refuses nothing.
It receives, but it does not keep.
(Chuang Tzu)

To take all you want is never as good as to stop when you should. (Lao Tzu)

Good manners have much to do with emotions. To make them ring true, one must feel them, not merely exhibit them. (Amy Vanderbilt)

Life is mostly guesswork. You will usually guess more or less right, and sometimes you’ll guess wrong. When you guess wrong, don’t react – love your mistakes, and don’t beat yourself up. (Stuart Wilde)

Fine horses can travel a hundred miles a day, but they cannot catch mice like terriers or weasels. All creatures have gifts of their own.

My fear is my own concern.

(T E Lawrence)

The nail that sticks up is hammered down.

(Japanese proverb)

Dignity does not consist in possessing honours, but in deserving them. (Aristotle)

When there's a motive for search, the end of the search is already known. Being unhappy, you seek happiness; therefore you have ceased to seek, for you think you already know what happiness is.

Trying to be all things to all people is a reliable formula for failure.

Taking something and making it your own makes a big difference. It's not just copying something, it's breaking it down, feeling what's going on and experiencing it for yourself.

Desires do not hurt the mind as much as opinions do. The senses do not hinder enlightenment as much as the intellect does.(Huanchu Daoren)

Love is what you give without any thought to the Self.

There is a time for putting together.
And another time for taking apart.
He who understands this course of events
Takes each new state in its proper time
With neither sorrow nor joy.
The ancients said: "The hanged man cannot cut himself down."

The voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.(Marcel Proust)

Silence is the ornament of the learned and the clock of the ignorant.

Through pride, we are ever deceiving ourselves.

No revolution in outer things is possible without prior revolution in one's inner way of being.

Trying to understand is like straining to see through muddy water. Be still, and allow the mud to settle.

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. (Charles Darwin)

A New Year is unfolding — like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within. — Anonymous

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called “Opportunity” and its first chapter is New Year’s Day. — Edith L. Pierce

Be at war with your vices; at peace with your neighbours, and let every New Year find you a better man. — Benjamin Franklin

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. — Oprah Winfrey

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. — Einstein

It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future, and impossible to live in the past. Nothing is as far away as one minute ago. — Jim Bishop

You have done what you could — some blunders and absurdities have crept in. Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. — Emerson

Insaan ko bolna seekhney mein aik saal lagta hai Magar kon sa Lafz kahan bolna hai ye seekhney kay leye poori zindagi lag jati hai.

Muhammad T S Awan · #**717** Tuesday, January 03, 2012

Loneliness and solitude are two different things. When you are lonely, it is easy to delude yourself into believing that you are on the right path. Solitude is better for us, as it means being alone without feeling lonely. But eventually it is best to find a person, the person who will be your mirror. Remember, only in another person's heart can you truly see yourself and the presence of God within you.

(The forty rules of love - Elif Shafak)

Forgive many things in others; nothing in yourself. Ausonius

Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names. John F. Kennedy

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting. William Arthur Ward

Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. Suzanne Somers

The 1st person in morning & last person in the night you think about, is either the cause of your happiness or the cause of your pain

Nature has given you a face, but you have to provide the expressions...Be careful, your each expression will leave an impression on other's heart

Empty pockets and hungry stomach teaches a million things in life.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. William Shakespeare

“Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Tell your friend a lie. If he keeps its secret, then tell him the truth but never force him to justify. You may lose a good friend.

The Chief reason why I love him(Pathan) is because he will wash his face and oil his beard and perfume his locks and nut on his best pair of clothes when he goes out to fight and die. The dear child wants the houristo like him. He thinks God will dislike a dirty face as much as he does himself; so he washes it.

He say Allah is

good and sweet

To him who laughs

And sings and dies.

He says the cowards

Weep and work,

But fighters go

To Paradise

I am definitely prejudiced in his favor. I hope by now you too are prejudiced.
