If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing.
-J. M. Barrie
You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.
What we call reality is an agreement that people have arrived at to make life more livable.
-Louise Nevelson
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
-Deep Trivedi
Don’t try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the centre and everything coming out equal. Even if you’re good, bad things can still happen. And if you’re bad, you can still be lucky.
-Barbara Kingsolver
The mind exists in a state of “not enough” and so is always greedy for more. When you are identified with mind, you get bored and restless very easily. Boredom means the mind is hungry for more stimulus…it is not satisfied.
Wise is the one who learns from another´s mistakes. Less wise is the one who learns only from his own mistakes. The fool keeps making the same mistakes again and again and never learns from them.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
