The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain.
-Aristotle
Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
When you let go of past pain, believe in yourself, and follow your dreams—you can find true happiness!
-Casi McLean
Have you ever seen classes where tigers are taught to hunt, monkeys to jump
or cows being trained to abstain from eating flesh? Then what are we being
preached and why? Do our religious heads and scriptures consider us even
worse than animals?
-Deep Trivedi
Time is the factor of fear and thought: if you don’t change now, you won’t ever change.
-J. Krishnamurti
Happiness is like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing up against your legs and jumping into your lap.
-William J. Bennett
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
-Mark Twain
