Quote of the day

A human being is a being who is constantly 'under construction,' but also, in a parallel fashion, always in a state of constant destruction.
Jose Saramago
​
 
The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells Wakan-Taka (the Great Spirit), and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this.


The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men.

Passion: it can be used to describe the beauty of an earth-shaking meeting between two people… It’s there in the excitement of the unexpected, in the desire to do something with real fervor, in the certainty that one is going to realize a dream. Passion sends us signal that guide us through our lives, and it’s up to me to interpret those signs.
Paulo Coelho,Eleven Minutes



Whenever we need to make a very important decision, it is best to trust impulse and passion, because reason usually tries to remove us from our dreams, saying that the time is not yet right. Reason is afraid of defeat, but intuition enjoys life and its challenges.

Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness.
Thus goodness is attained.

Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest.
Thus honesty is attained.

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
Attributed to Yogi Berra​
Of course he also said:


"Half the lies they tell about me aren't true."​
So, who knows. Still funny though.
 
"The test of a man or woman's breeding is how they behave in a quarrel.
Anybody can behave well when things are going smoothly."

“It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship.
Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment,
it will not be created for years or even generations”


Kahil Gibran for MJ 82609​
 
“We dance for laughter,
we dance for tears,
we dance for madness,
we dance for fears,
we dance for hopes,
we dance for screams,
we are the dancers,
we create the dreams.”

Anon.

Willing is not enough; we must do.

I love your quote (post 154)



This is the spirit that Beauty must ever induce, wonderment and a delicious trouble, longing and love and a trembling that is all delight.
For the unseen all this may be felt as for the seen; and this is the Soul's feel for it, every Soul in some degree,
but those the more deeply that are the more truly apt to this higher love - just as all take delight in the beauty of the body but all are not stung as sharply , and those only that feel the keener wound are known as Lovers.

These Lovers, then, lovers of the beauty outside of sense, must be made to declare themselves.
