“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
Mother Teresa
Faith is not a series of gilt-edged propositions that you sit down to figure out, and if you follow all the logic and accept all the conclusions, then you have it. It is crumpling and throwing away everything, proposition by proposition, until nothing is left, and then writing a new proposition, your very own, to throw in the teeth of despair...
Faith is not making religious-sounding noises in the daytime. It is asking your inmost self questions at night, and then getting up and going to work...
Faith is thinking thoughts and singing songs and making poems in the lap of death.” -- Mary Jean Irion
Saint Augustine

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”
Dalai Lama
“Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.”

“The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to avoid suffering the more you suffer because insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt.”

“When we live superficially … we are always outside ourselves, never quite ‘with’ ourselves, always divided and pulled in many directions … we find ourselves doing many things that we do not really want to do, saying things we do not really mean, needing things we do not really need, exhausting ourselves for what we secretly realize to be worthless and without meaning in our lives.”
“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
Paulo Coelho
""Those who love their own noise are impatient of everything else. They constantly defile the silence of the forests and the mountains and the sea. They bore through silent nature in every direction with their machines, for fear that the calm world might accuse them of their own emptiness. The urgency of their swift movement seems to ignore the tranquility of nature by pretending to have a purpose...
The loud plane seems for a moment to deny the reality of the clouds and of the sky, by its direction, its noise, and its pretended strength. The silence of the sky remains when the plane has gone. The tranquility of the clouds will remain when the plane has fallen apart. It is the silence of the world that is real. Our noise, our business, our purposes, and all our fatuous statements about our purposes, our business, and our noise: these are the illusion. Whether the plane pass by tonight or tomorrow ... whether the liner enters the harbor full of tourists or full of soldiers, the almond tree brings forth her fruit in silence."
-- Thomas Merton
“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
Marcel Proust
Literally translated: "All my relatives."
Actual meaning: "We are all connected."
“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.
If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.”
