Most people die with their music still locked up inside them.
-Benjamin Disraeli
Always think of what is useful and not what is beautiful. Beauty will come of its own accord.
-Nikolai Gogol
How wrong is it for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
-Anaïs Nin
Do not take this material world so seriously because it is always changing. Something terrible that you take so seriously today is going to change tomorrow.
True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance… To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.
All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
-Swami Vivekananda
