Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.
Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Ester asked why people are sad.
“That’s simple,” says the old man. “They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”
-Paulo Coelho
To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once.
-G. K. Chesterton
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-Benjamin Franklin
Happiness is not the absence of problems. It’s the ability to deal with them.
-Steve Maraboli
I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places.
-Mark Twain
