-Zig Ziglar
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. So we have to know how to act.
If you seek to understand the whole universe you will understand nothing at all but seek to understand yourself and you will understand the whole universe.
A disciple in training will comprehend this earth, the realm of death and the realm of the gods. A disciple in training will investigate the well-taught Path of Virtue, even as an expert garland-maker picks flowers.
If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great

sayings.
-Deep Trivedi
