Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
If we cannot envision the world we would like to live in, we cannot work towards its creation. If we cannot place ourselves in it in our imagination, we will not believe it is possible.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
