If you want
others to be happy, practice compassion.
If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
The 14th Dalai
Lama
The weak can never forgive.
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Mahatma Gandhi
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?
Thich
Nhat Hanh
"Do not keep the alabaster box of your friendship
sealed up until your friends are dead.
Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while
their ears can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier.
The kind of things you
mean to say when they are gone, say before they go."
George W. Childs
"This is love: to fly
toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a
step without feet."
Rumi
For one human being to love another: that
is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other
work is but preparation.
Rainer Maria Rilke
"All who have meant good work with their
whole hearts, have done good work, although they may die before they have the time to sign it.
Every heart
that has beat strong and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition
of mankind."
Robert Louis Stevenson
"The only thing that you
will take through those pearly gates is what youve given away."
Marcia Moore
"The more we create, the
more we love and lose those whom we love, the more we escape from death.
With every new work we round and finish,
we escape into the work we have created, the soul we have loved, the soul that has left us.
When all is told,
Rome is not in Rome; the best of a man lies outside himself."
