Respect yourself and others will respect you.
-Confucius
To have a body is to suffer. Those who understand this, detach themselves from all that exists and stop imagining or seeking anything. The sutras say, “To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.” When you seek nothing, you’re on the Path.
Stop waiting for the right person to come into your life. Be the right person to come to someone’s life.
-Leo Babauta
They say the seeds of what we will do are in all of us, but it always seemed to me that in those who make jokes in life the seeds are covered with better soil and with a higher grade of manure.
-Ernest Hemingway
To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the music the words make.
-Truman Capote
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
-George Bernard Shaw
It's not that we have little time, but more that we waste a good deal of it.
-Seneca the Younger
