Respect yourself and others will respect you.
-Confucius
I tell you, deep inside you is a fountain of bliss, a fountain of joy. Deep inside your center core is truth, light, love, there is no guilt there, there is no fear there. Psychologists have never looked deep enough.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Every day you can inspire others through your sincere concern for humanity’s happiness and progress.
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
-Alan Wilson Watts
Contemplating upon divine qualities, performing good deeds and chanting are all ways of destroying delusion through satsang.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
-Jesus Christ
He wanted to cry quietly but not for himself: for the words, so beautiful and sad, like music.
-James Joyce
