Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
It is inevitable that a tragedy should arouse sorrowful feelings. Still, out of that sorrow itself comes a feeling of triumph – the victory of the human will over the most adverse circumstances. And thus out of sorrow and defeat come joy and victory.
Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter which fork you use.
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.
Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
