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.
-Nelson Mandela
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.
It is wise to direct your anger towards problems -- not people; to focus your energies on answers -- not excuses.
-William Arthur Ward
Why don't you simply understand that events are happening outside and your life
is within you. Then whatever happens outside, why should your life be affected
by it ? It does, because you forcibly perceive yourself being attached to it.
-Deep Trivedi
Linking karma with physical acts is the lowest level of intelligence. This
encompasses all the acts right from fasting to rigorous toiling. A wise being links
karma with intent. Pure intent is in itself a good karma. But a supremely intelligent
being views "karma" in the light of its result. Whatever is the final outcome of
your action, is indeed your "true intent".
-Deep Trivedi
There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supersedes all other courts.
The cycle of God, the good, is broken by a single act of negativity. The cycle of negativity is stopped by choosing the good.
Booksellers are the most valuable destination for the lonely, given the numbers of books written because authors couldn't find anyone to talk to.
-Alain De Botton
The ups and downs coming in others' life do not make a difference to you;
because you know that he is the other. If you wish, you can separate your 'being'
from 'yourself' and then like that of others, the ups and downs of your own life will
also not affect you.
-Deep Trivedi
