Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.
-Aristotle
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
-Henry David Thoreau
He who loves me is made pure; his heart melts in joy. He rises to transcendental consciousness by the rousing of his higher emotional nature. Tears of joy flow from his eyes, his hair stands on end, his heart melts in love. The bliss in that state is so intense that, forgetful of himself and his surroundings, he sometimes weeps profusely, or laughs, or sings, or dances; such a devotee is a purifying influence upon the whole universe.
There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
-Fernando Pessoa
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.
-Winston S. Churchill
The very strength that protects the heart from injury is the strength that prevents the heart from enlarging to its intended greatness within. The song of the voice is sweet, but the song of the heart is the pure voice of heaven.
You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
-Rabindranath Tagore
There is no such man known in history whose departure from this world has
stalled the progress of mankind. Meaning, our consciousness has been growing
day by day. But then, why do we still continue to live with the crutches of those
who were born thousands of years ago?
-Deep Trivedi
