ALBERT EINSTEIN

There are only two ways to live your life - one is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as if everything is.
I believe in the latter.

WILLIAM JAMES

A great many people think they are thinking, when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

JAMES HOWELL

Faults are thick where love is thin.

THICH NHAT HANH

If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this
sheet of paper. Without a cloud there will be no water; without water,
the trees cannot grow; and without trees, you cannot make paper. So
the cloud is in here. The existence of this page is dependent upon the
existence of a cloud. Paper and cloud are so close.

RICHARD BACH

You are never given a wish without being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.

ANON

Sometimes,
Behind all the noise and confusion
If you listen carefully
You can hear the silence

from a Zen Buddhist text

The person who is a master in the art of living makes little distinction between their work and their play, their labour and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which. They simply pursue their vision of excellence and grace in whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing. To them, they are always doing both.

Layman PANG-YUN

When the mind is at peace, the world too is at peace.
Nothing real, nothing absent. Not holding on to reality, not getting stuck in the void, you are neither holy or wise, just an ordinary fellow who has completed his work.

RONALD REAGAN

There is no limit to what a man can do and where he can go, if he doesn’t mind who gets the credit.

ROBERT ALDEN

There’s not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of even one small candle.

GERTRUDE STEIN

There ain't no answer.
There ain't going to be an answer.
There never has been an answer.
That's the answer.

The DALAI LAMA

Every day, think as you wake up - today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive.

BUDDHA

Meditate, live purely, be quiet, do your work with mastery. Like the moon come out from behind the clouds. SHINE !

JIM RYUN

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

HENRY DAVID THOREAU

(referring to snowflakes)
How full of the creative genius is the air in which these are generated.
I should hardly admire more if real stars fell and lodged on my coat.

Chinese Proverb

Tell me and I'll forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I'll understand.

ALBERT SCHWEITZER

The deeper we look into nature, the more we recognize that it is full of life, and the more profoundly we know that all life is a secret and that we are united with all life that is in nature. Man can no longer live his life for himself alone. We realize that all life is valuable and that we are united to all this life. From this knowledge comes our spiritual relationship with the universe.

CHARLES CHAPLIN

Life can be wonderful if you're not afraid of it. All it needs is courage, imagination - and a little dough.

T.S. ELIOT

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And to know the place for the first time.

BORIS PASTERNAK

When a great moment knocks on the door of your life, it is often no louder than the beating of your heart, and it is very easy to miss it.

DeSYLVA, BROWN and HENDERSON

The best things in life are free.

ANON

Stop waiting until you finish school,
until you go back to school,
until you lose ten pounds,
until you gain ten pounds,
until you have kids,
until your kids leave the house,
until you start work,
until you retire,
until you get married,
until you get divorced,
until Friday night,
until Sunday morning,
until you get a new car or home,
until your car or home is paid off,
until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter,
until you are off welfare,
until the first or fifteenth,
until your song comes on,
until you've had a drink,
until you've sobered up,
until you die,
until you are born again
to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.

JOHN MUIR

This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere, the dew is never all dried at once, a shower is forever falling, vapour is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset continues each in its turn.
