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?

Truth, if it becomes a weapon against persons.
Beauty, if it becomes vanity.
Love, if it becomes possessive.
Loyalty, if it becomes blind, careless trust.
Tolerance, if it becomes indifference.
Self-confidence, if it becomes arrogance.
Faith, if it becomes self-righteous.

JOHN STUART MILL

DOROTHY NEVILL

DOUG LARSON

Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.

WOODY ALLEN

To love is to suffer.
To avoid suffering one must not love.
But then one suffers from not loving.
Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer.
To suffer is to suffer.
To be happy is to love.
To be happy then is to suffer.
But suffering makes one unhappy.
Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness.
I hope you're getting this down.

ANON

Since all of your troubles exist only in your mind, the only place you can solve them is in your mind.
