The universe is wider than our views of it.
-Henry David Thoreau
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
-Arthur C. Clarke
If we stop expecting others to treat us as someone special, all our miseries
will be vanquished. When no one understood the great historical legends, right
from Buddha to Jesus in their times...why do you expect others to "understand
you"?
-Deep Trivedi
A good marriage, like any partnership, meant subordinating one's own needs to that of the other's, in the expectation that the other will do the same.
-Nicholas Sparks
A man becomes pure through sincerity of intellect; thereupon, in meditation he beholds Him who is without parts.
So long as we believe in our heart of hearts that our capacity is limited and we grow anxious and unhappy, we are lacking in faith. One who truly trusts in God has no right to be anxious about anything.
