What lies

behind us,

and what lies

ahead of us

are tiny matters compared to

what lies

within us.


Ralph Waldo Emerson
Human nature is not a machine to be built to do exactly the work prescribed for it,
but a tree which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides,
according to the inward forces which make it a living thing.            
    

John Stewart Mill
LOVE YOURSELF AND BE AWAKE.

TODAY, TOMORROW, ALWAYS.

FIRST ESTABLISH YOURSELF IN THE WAY,

THEN TEACH OTHERS,

AND SO DEFEAT SORROW.

YOU ARE YOUR ONLY MASTER.

WHO ELSE?

SUBDUE YOURSELF AND DISCOVER YOUR MASTER.

The higest form of human intelligence is to see without evaluating.           Unkown

Truth resides in every human heart,

                                                    and one has to search for it there,

            and to be guided by the truth as one sees it.

  But no one has a right to coerce others to
                                                    
                                   act according
                                                        
                                                             to his own view of truth.                              

Ghandi
What irritates us
about
another person
can lead us to
a better understanding
of ourselves.                                        C. Jung
Between
what happens to You,
and
Your response
to
what happens to You
lies
Your ultimate freedom
to
choose
Your response.

Stephen  Covey

To straighten the crooked You must first do the harder thing.

Straighten yourself!

The greatest gain is to give to others.

The greatest loss is to receive without gratitude.

The most dangerous thief is an unwholesome thought.

Virtue is the most precious treasure.



Words from the Buddha
No knowledge is of any value unless it grows out of ourselves. Zen Buddhism

Peace cannot be kept by force, but only achieved by understanding.      A. Einstein
