Quotations
Life
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
-Marcus Aurelius
Those who see all creatures within themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves, and themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life, delude the one who sees its unity?
-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad 6-7"
It is a good practice to set apart at least one day in a year for the remembrance of one’s near and dear relatives, friends and learned people that are no more in keeping with our traditions; giving a new orientation to and infusing new life into practices that have become lifeless and meaningless to many.
-Scriptures "The Concise Encyclopaedia of Hinduism"
The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.

It’s better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
"Eat, Pray, Love"

There are mental demons we fight and mental angels that we all carry around; it’s how we deal with them that will determine if we can deal with this thing called life.
-Mitch Thrower "Mitch Thrower"
