Backward, turn backward,
O Time, in your flight make me a child again just for to-night!
-Elizabeth A. Behnke
Backward, turn backward,
O Time, in your flight make me a child again just for to-night!
There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
-George Eliot
Speak not harshly to anyone. Those thus addressed will retort. Painful, indeed, is vindictive speech. Blows in exchange may bruise you.
Develop a mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect poise of mind: follow calmness, the absence of pride.
Stop waiting for the right person to come into your life. Be the right person to come to someone’s life.
-Leo Babauta
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
-Jesus Christ
When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.
