Why should I grieve because of a thorn? Once it had made laughter known to me. Whatever you lost through the stroke of destiny, know it was to save you from adversity. One small affliction keeps off greater afflictions; one small loss prevents greater losses.
- Rumi, "Mathnawi"
In dark night live those for whom The world without alone is real; in night Darker still, for whom the world within Alone is real. The first leads to a life Of action, the second to a life of meditation. But those who combine action with meditation Cross the sea of death through action And enter into immortality Through the practice of meditation. So have we heard from the wise.
- Isha Upanishad
Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
- Leo Buscaglia
When you worship, you are aware of your separateness from God; you are the subject and he is the object. The more you worship, the more you acquire this sense of separateness from God. Union with God comes when this sense of your separateness from God is stripped away.
- Qushayri, "Risalah"
Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of, a blessing money can't buy.
- Izaak Walton
I believe that he is the true warrior who does not die killing but who has mastered the mantra of living by dying.
- Mohandas Gandhi
On the spiritual path no one has higher or lower status than anyone else.
- Nizam al-Din, Fawaid al-Fuad
If sparks fly, I shall think my thirst and hunger quelled. If the skies tear down, I shall think them pouring for my bath. If a hillside slides on me I shall think it flower for my hair. O lord white as jasmine, if my head falls from my shoulders I shall think it your offering.
- Mahadeviyakka
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering you own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.
- Saint Francis de Sales
Regard him as one who points out treasure, the wise one who seeing your faults rebukes you. Stay with this sort of sage. For the one who stays with a sage of this sort, things get better, not worse.
- Dhammapada, 6, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
Self-discipline is when your conscience tells you to do something and you don't talk back.
- W.K. Hope
Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
.. the Talmud relates that before the final decision to create man, God consulted with His inner angelic circle on the advisability of the proposed action.
- Morris B. Margolies,
"A Gathering of Angels"
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
- Leo Buscaglia
Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of, a blessing money can't buy.
- Izaak Walton
The supreme Understanding transcends all this and that. The supreme Action embraces great resourcefulness without attachment. The supreme Accomplishment is to realize immanence without hope.
- Translation by Garma C.C. Chang
