The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.
-Edward Gibbon
The answer to anxiety must come in two parts: dealing with anxiety when it suddenly rears its head in panic attacks and also healing its underlying causes.
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
-William Shakespeare
Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
-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.
Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul.
-Johann Sebastian Bach
Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.
-Oscar Wilde
