Ideals are like stars.
You will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but, like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them reach your destination.

The DALAI LAMA

What is religion?
As far as I am concerned, any deed done with good motivation is a religious act.
On the other hand, a gathering of people in a temple or church who do not have good motivation are not performing a religious act when they pray together.

Look well to this day.
Yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision. But today well-lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

North American Indian Saying

Inside me dwell ten thousand stars,
One for each of my ancestors.
The elk, the raven, the moose, the man, the flower, the coyote, the lion, the fish,
Ten thousand different stars am I,
But only one spirit connecting all.

From the Dhammapada

Hold not a sin of little worth, thinking "This is little to me."
The falling drops of water will in time fill a water-jar.
Even so the foolish man becomes full of evil, although he gather it little by little.

Hold not a deed of little worth, thinking "This is little to me."
The falling drops of water will in time fill a water-jar.
Even so the wise man becomes full of good, although he gather it little by little.

What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
