Power invariably elects to go into the hands of the strong. Strength may be physical, or of the heart or, if we do not fight shy of the word, of the spirit. Strength of the heart connotes soul-force. Let it be remembered that physical force is transitory. But the power of spirit is permanent even as the spirit is everlasting.
The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, and forgiveness.
-Dalai Lama Xiv
If we stop expecting others to treat us as someone special, all our miseries

-Deep Trivedi

Few people know so clearly what they want. Most people can't even think what to hope for when they throw a penny in a fountain.
-Barbara Kingsolver
