By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.

He who loves me is made pure; his heart melts in joy. He rises to transcendental consciousness by the rousing of his higher emotional nature. Tears of joy flow from his eyes, his hair stands on end, his heart melts in love. The bliss in that state is so intense that, forgetful of himself and his surroundings, he sometimes weeps profusely, or laughs, or sings, or dances; such a devotee is a purifying influence upon the whole universe.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita
What makes resisting temptation difficult for many people is they don't want to discourage it completely.
-Franklin P. Jones
You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
-Rabindranath Tagore
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
-Hermann Hesse
Now the time has come for all the open-minded, intelligent Muslims to come
forward and form a powerful association. If they themselves don't show courage
or care about their fellow brothers...why would someone else?
-Deep Trivedi
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
