Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?
-Friedrich Nietzsche
The worthy person is grateful and mindful of benefits done to him. This gratitude, this mindfulness, is congenial to the best people.
It is not that the world has deteriorated today. You perceive the world as you are.
The world has been the same from the very beginning; neither has there been
a virtuous age (Dharma yuga) nor a sin age (Papi yuga). Here, everything has
always been dependent on an individual's perspective with which he looks at it.
-Deep Trivedi
Those who read books cannot understand the teachings and, what’s more, may even go astray. But those who try to observe the things going on in the mind, and always take that which is true in their own minds as their standard; never get muddled.
You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
-Rabindranath Tagore
People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil... Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.
-Anne Rice
