Contentment is the greatest form of wealth.

HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again.
Wisely improve the present. It is thine.
Go forth to meet the future without fear and with a manly heart.

ANON

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to the understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.

SIVANANDA

Love expects no reward. Love knows no fear. Love Divine
gives - does not demand. Love thinks no evil; imputes no
motive. To Love is to share and serve.

THICH NHAT HANH

People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong.
Why not try and see positive things - to just touch those
things and make them bloom?

RICHARD BRAUNSTEIN

It is possible to give without loving, but it is impossible to love without giving.

SOPHOCLES

Look and you will find it-what is unsought will go undetected.

BUDDHA

Do not believe anything
because it is said by an authority,
or if it is said to come from angels,
or from Gods,
or from an inspired source.
Believe it only if you have explored it
in your own heart
and mind and body
and found it to be true.
Work out your own path,
through diligence.

ROBERT LOUIS STEPHENSON

No man is useless while he has a friend.

ANNE DILLARD

How we spend our days is of course how we spend our lives.

ANON

The person who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch of a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

LAMA SURYA DAS

Breathe, relax and smile.
Outdoors or indoors,
Enjoy the joy of natural meditation.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

CONFUCIUS

Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.

MARCUS AURELIUS

Remember this - very little is needed to make a happy life.

ANON

Live for today,
Live for tomorrow,
Think of your hopes
And not of your sorrow.

TAO TE CHING

I hold and protect three treasures; benevolence, frugality and never trying to be Number One.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

This above all - to thine own self be true;
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not be false to any man.

Fisher/Goodwin/Shay

Keep on smiling,
For when you're smiling,
The whole world smiles with you.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

GOETHE

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

AGATHA CHRISTIE

Curious things, habits - people themselves never know they have them.

BUDDHA

Forego everything that you have thought up to now meaningful, significant.
Sacrifice everything for this ultimate, because this is the only thing that will make you contented, that will make you fulfilled, that will bring spring to your being -
And you will blossom into a thousand and one flowers.

M.C. RICHARD

A knowledge of the path cannot be substituted for putting one foot in front of the other.

Japanese proverb

Fall seven times -
stand up eight.

ANON

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

KITARO NISHIDA

If my heart can become pure and simple like that of a child, I think there probably can be no greater happiness than this.

CONFUCIUS

By three methods we may learn wisdom. First, by reflection, which is noblest. Second, by imitation, which is easiest. Third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Zen Saying

I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.

LEO BUSCAGLIA

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!
