"Few men who have liberated themselves from the fear of God and the fear of death are yet able to liberate themselves from the fear of man." "You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance." "It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life
that no man can sincerely try to help another
without helping himself." "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." "Internal peace is an essential first step to achieving peace in the world. How do you cultivate it? It's very simple. In the first place by realizing clearly that all mankind is one, that human beings in every country are members of one and the same family." "Knowledge is proportionate to being...
You know in virtue of what you are." "I know of no more encouraging fact
than the unquestioned ability of a man
to elevate his life by conscious endeavor." "Then indecision brings its own delays, and days are lost lamenting o'er lost days�
Are you in serious? Seize this very minute!
What you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius and power." "No planet, sun or star could hold you, if you but knew what you are....

"The Buddha compared people to four kinds of clay vessels. One type of vessel has holes in the bottom. We can pour in as much water as we like and it runs right out. When this type of person hears the Dharma, it goes in one ear and out the other. The second type of vessel has cracks. Though we pour in the Dharma, it seeps out slowly until the vessel is empty again. The third vessel is full to the brim with stale water--views and opinions. One can't pour anything new in, everything is already known. The only useful vessel is the fourth, without holes or cracks and totally empty." "I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself." "I have three rules about life. My first rule is: To hell with it.
My second rule is: Get your work done. And my third rule is: If all
else fails, run like hell." "To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing." I ain't goin to piss in no cup lessin Nancy Reagan's goin to drink
it up, I say yo Nancy, just say no no, no no no no no. The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world. "It's hard to soar like an eagle, when you hang around turkeys." Who once was heedless, His evil done deed "The last temptation is the greatest treason,
To do the right deed for the wrong reason" Always remember to quit while you're ahead. |
