Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.
OG MANDINO
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
THOMAS MERTON It is simple. We are where we should be, doing what we should be doing. Otherwise we would be somewhere else, doing something else.
RICHARD STINE
It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there will be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
MAHATMA GANDHI
All happenings, great and small, are parables whereby God speaks. The art of life is to get the message.

Joy is what happens when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSON Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult – once we truly understand and accept it – then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
M. SCOTT PECK
To understand the nature of God, it is necessary only to know the nature of love itself. To truly know love is to know and understand God; and to know God is to understand love.
DAVID HAWKINS
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
