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.

SIVANANDA

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

WINSTON CHURCHILL

The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.

ANON

If you are waiting for someone to come along and save you from yourself, you have a long wait.

ENID BLYTON

Growing old is compulsory, but growing up is optional.

DALE CARNEGIE

All life is a chance. So take it! The person who goes furthest is the one who is willing to do and dare.

Chinese Saying

A rumour goes in one ear and out many mouths.

ARISTOTLE

Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way. You become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.

DOUG McLEOD

I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence.

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.

HUMPHRY DAVY

Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart, and secure comfort.

HELEN KELLER

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.

SAMUEL JOHNSON

The happiest conversation is where there is no competition, no vanity, but a calm quiet interchange of sentiments.

LAMA SURYA DAS

Truth is everywhere.
It knows no religious, cultural, temporal or ethnic bounds.
Truth is the perfect circle.
Its centre is everywhere.
Its circumference stretches into infinite space.

BERNARD MELTZER

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.

ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but playing a poor hand well.

RUMER GODDEN

There is an Indian belief that everyone is in a house of four rooms - a physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room everyday, even if only to keep it aired, we are not complete.

MARY ANNE RADMACHER

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all that there is.

ALBERT SCHWEITZER

In the hope of reaching the moon, men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.

LAYMAN P'ANG

The past is already past.
Don't try to regain it.
The present does not stay.
Don't try to touch it.

From moment to moment.
The future has not come;
Don't think about it beforehand.

ANON

You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind.

DAVID RUSSELL

The hardest thing in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

Ven. K. Sri. DHAMMANANDA

Happy is he who has lofty and noble aspirations.
Happy is he who enriches the lives of others.
Happy is he who allows others to live in peace.
Happy is he who makes this world a better place to live in.
Happy is he whose work, chores and daily tasks are labours of love.
Happy is he who loves love.

CHARLES CALEB COLTON

True friendship is like sound health.
The value of it is seldom known until it be lost.

GANDHI

We must not, like the frog in the well who imagines that the universe ends with the wall surrounding his well, think that our religion alone represents the whole truth and all others are false.

CARL SCHURZ

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.
