The greater the lie, the greater the chance that it will be believed.
Dying is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down.
It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.
It is the theory that decides what can be observed.
When I become excessively critical towards others, it means I am going in the wrong direction. We are usually very good at spotting mistakes, but we should develop the quality of also spotting goodness. If I can see what is good in others or in situations and go beyond the curtain of negativity, I feel good about myself. If I constantly think "he is wrong", I instead create a barrier which blocks me from reaching my own goodness. A very ancient law says: "just as I treat others, I shall be treated by others."
I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol
Treat others the way you want to be treated.
The road to success is lined with many tempting parking spaces.
It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver.
Never believe anyone who says we cannot change. Vision is one of the secrets of personal transformation. We are all artists, our mind is the arena of creation and vision is what we are constantly creating. What is your vision of yourself today – patient, relaxed, positive or tense, tight and negative? What do you prefer? So be creative – what does patience look like, feel like, what are you doing that is different when you are patient and you are expressing your power to... wait? Always start with vision not action. See it and you will be it. Be it and you will do it. We don’t ‘get a life’ as some would cynically tell us – we create our life.
Can you remember a time when you had nothing to eat, nowhere to live, no clothes to wear and no friends. You cant? Because there never was such a time. One of the deepest faiths is that you will always receive what you need. Every time you fear that will not receive what you need, or that others will acquire everything before you, and so deny you, you loose the first and most important faith. The faith that you are worthy and that all your needs will be met. The death of this faith is the birth of desire, and desire eventually becomes greed. Faith is living in the intuitive conviction that all your needs will be met at every level - spiritual, mental and physical. Paradoxically it is the power of that faith that works like a magnet and makes it happen. You wont need to fight for anything. Faith attracts all that you need, but not as long as you still want!
The one self-knowledge worth having is to know one's own mind.
Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them.
Swimming is not a sport. Swimming is a way to keep from drowning. That’s just common sense!
Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world; it is God's gift to humanity.
