What can be said of the human brilliancy? Every day, it comes up with hundreds
of schemes to bring upon its own destruction.
-Deep Trivedi
For him who has completed the journey, for him who is sorrowless, for him who from everything is wholly free, for him who has destroyed all ties, the fever of passion exists not… He is like a pool, unsullied by mud; to such a balanced one, life’s wanderings do not arise. Calm is his mind, calm is his speech, calm is his action, who, rightly knowing, is wholly freed, perfectly peaceful and equipoised.
-Dhammapada
To prevent illness in later life, you should never have been born at all.
-George Bernard Shaw
Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
-Plato
Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.
-Thich Nhat Hanh
As the heat of a fire reduces wood to ashes, the fire of knowledge burns to ashes all karma. Nothing in this world purifies like spiritual wisdom. It is the perfection achieved in time through the path of yoga, the path which leads to the Self within.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita
