Quote of the day

O' GREAT SPIRIT
help me always
to speak the truth quietly,
to listen with an open mind
when others speak,
and to remember the peace
that may be found in silence.

Cherokee Prayer


Certain things catch your eye,
But pursue only those
that capture your heart.

“A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks.
When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are;
we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be.
Each unveils the best part of the other.
No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise.
Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction.
When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person.
Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life. ”

Richard Bach.

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…
It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”
C.S. Lewis

A teacher who can arouse a feeling for one single good action, for one single good poem, accomplishes more than he who fills our memory with rows and rows of natural objects, classified with name and form.

Laughter comes out of health.
It’s an overflowing energy.
That’s why children can laugh and their laughter is total.
Their whole body is involved in it — when they laugh you
can see their toes laughing.
The whole body, every cell,
every fiber of the body, is laughing and vibrating.
They are so full of health, so vital; everything is flowing.

Osho

My emphasis is to increase your cheerfulness, your laughter, because this world is not for the miserable.
This world is not for the people who have become too accustomed to anxiety, anguish.
This world belongs to those who live moment to moment in utter ecstasy.
Cheerfulness, non seriousness, a sense of humor to me are very fundamental qualities of a religious being.

"By three methods we may learn wisdom:

first, by reflection, which is noblest;

second, by imitation, which is easiest;

and third, by experience, which is the most bitter."


Confucius.

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.

Edmond and Jules De Goncourt

It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.

My mind," he said, "rebels at stagnation.
Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere.
I can dispense then with artificial stimulants.
But I abhor the dull routine of existence.
I crave for mental exaltation.
That is why I have chosen my own particular profession, or rather created it,
for I am the only one in the world.”

Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign of Four
