Our goal is to have a country that's not divided by race.
Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.
He that hath a wife and children hath given hostages to fortune.
Don't be sorry, be content - it's a choice not a chore. Never identify with others' sorrow or you will go down with them. Be with them, but stay up, so you can uplift them. Help them put things in perspective. But first do that for yourself. Your feeling sorry? Why? Have you lost something? It's an illusion - you have nothing to lose. Everything that comes to you comes to pass, literally. So let all things pass and you will turn the illusion of loss into the reality of liberation...and sorrow will be a distant memory.
The best thing about the future is that it only comes one day at a time.
He not busy being born is busy dying.
Fear? If I have gained anything by damning myself, it is that I no longer have anything to fear.
The world is a stage and we are all actors. Each actor plays a unique part and is responsible for their own actions. Responsibility means doing the right thing no matter how big or small the task may be. Each one of us has a special role to play in making the world a better place.
There is only one difference between a madman and me. The madman thinks he is sane. I know I am mad.
Courage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears.
Home is where the heart is.
When you set goals, something inside of you starts saying, "Let's go, let's go," and ceilings start to move up.
Do not seek the truth. Only cease to cherish opinions.
True self-awareness, plus the ability to choose our perceptions of life, the universe and everything, is the basis of free will. Every situation and scene in front of us has so many possibilities in terms of how we perceive and interpret. If someone is 10% selfish and 90% generous what should we focus on, what should we perceive first within them? Most of us are now well trained to perceive and focus on the negative, the selfishness in others, and to follow it quickly with accusation and judgement. We forget that what we perceive is what we empower within another and, more importantly what we perceive is what we empower within ourselves in that moment. And what we choose to see is usually what we get. So how important is it that we choose to perceive only the best, the highest, the greatest in another, even if it's only a half a percent? Bosses and parents - take note!! Don't forget - your perception is your reality. Your perception is what you project. And what you project is what comes back!
A task left undone remains undone in two places - at the actual location of the task, and inside your head. Incomplete tasks in your head consume the energy of your attention as they gnaw at your conscience. They syphon off a little more of your personal power every time you delay. No need to be a perfectionist, thats debilitating in an imperfect world, but its good to be a 'completionist'. If you start it, finish it...or forget it. Do it - or dump it!
