Thoughts

"......that which is born of infinity can take you to infinity."

Good timber does not grow with ease. The stronger the wind the stronger the trees.

I wish to see people for who they really are, not for who they're trying to be or trying to impress. I feel a person's true self is revealed when he is at his weakest.

The mark of your Ignorance
is the depth of your belief
in Injustice and Tragedy.
What the caterpillar calls
the end of the world;
The master calls a butterfly.

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.

"One does nothing who tries to console a despondent person with word. A friend is one who aids with deeds at a critical time when deeds are called for."

“It's not always about how you feel, but also about how you can make the other person feel.”

A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.

"You may forget the one with whom you have laughed, but never the one with whom you have wept."

In the end, we should not feel like the conqueror who wins the battle at the cost of things for which the battle is fought for...

Life is weaker than death, and death is weaker than love.

"A good friend will come bail you out of jail....But a true friend will
be sitting next to you saying "... WE screwed up! BUT WASN'T IT FUN!!!"

Don't sacrifice your life to work and ideals. The most important things in life are human relations. I found that out too late.
--Katharinde Susannah Prichard

When I can look Life in the eyes,
Grown calm and very coldly wise,
Life will have given me the Truth,
And taken in exchange - my youth.

Enjoy your religions, honor them, learn from them, just as you should enjoy, honor, and learn from your parents. But do you walk around telling everyone that your parents are better than theirs?
Never trust a written word more than your own living heart.

Enlightment is:
Innocence with intellect
Unconditional smile
Being natural anywhere

A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

"He who conquers others is strong. He who conquers himself is mighty."

Brave is a man who overcomes his desire than his enemy; victory over the Self is the hardest victory

The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs... one step at a time.

Not in the plaudits of the throng or the clambor of the street but it is in ourselfs that lies victory and defeat.

The history of free men is never written by chance, but by choice - their choice."

There is no way to peace, peace is the way.

"The fruit of Silence is Prayer. The fruit of Prayer is Faith. The fruit of Faith is Love. The fruit of Love is Service. The fruit of Service is Peace"

To move freely you must be deeply rooted.

Age wrinkles the body, quitting wrinkles the soul.

One good thing about music, when it hits- you feel no pain

Every man loves two women, the one is the creation of his imagination and the other is not yet born.

“But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.”
