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.
-Bodhidharma
No individual is lost and no nation is refused prosperity and success if foundations of their thoughts and actions rest upon piety and godliness, and upon truth and justice.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
-Kurt Vonnegut
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
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
