You must live in the world while you are there, but do not become part of it, for you are part of God and do not belong to the world. The life ahead can only be glorious if you learn to live in total harmony with the Lord.

The problem nowadays is that love is interpreted on a gross level. Just as many people are attracted to the size and glitter of a fake diamond, so are they swayed by false, superficial love. There is no value in either. A real diamond is often quite small, but it is flawless. That is where it's value lies. Real love is like a tiny diamond: it is not flashy and it is without a single flaw. Real love is one hundred percent pure. There is nothing artificial mixed into it. It is clean. There are no ulterior motives in real love.

The best time to awaken both body and spirit is in the early morning. We are fresh, in solitude, and the vibrations of the world are at their calmest. It is not surprising that you will find all experienced meditators and yogis up with the dawn, inviting the sun of spirit to shine into the heart of their soul. The first half hour of conscious awareness will be the foundation of your day. Make an early start. Meditate, set the switch of your consciousness and calibrate your energy for the day. You'll be surprised the difference it makes.
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.

When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that weve set. Weve got to have a civilian national security force thats just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.
The happiest of people dont necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
