He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals.
-Benjamin Franklin
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.
Christ was crucified once, but his teachings suffer crucifixion every day at the hands of men of limited vision. Christ’s teachings cannot be understood just by reading the Bible…but by living and trying out in everyday life the principles taught in the book.
You have crossed the great ocean; why do you halt so near the shore? Make haste to get on the other side, Gautama; be careful all the while!
If you say that God is good, great blessed, wise or any such thing, the starting point is this: God is.
-Bernard Of Clairvaux
What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
-Hilary Cooper
