"The Book of Disquiet"
Quotations
Life
The devotee engages to the best of his or her ability into the play of life, fulfilling his or her role on this earth as student, employee, husband, wife…But at the heart of the devotee is a burning desire for the Lord.
-Sant Rajinder Singh "Sant Rajinder Singh"
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"
Some chapters in the Book of Life tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and others are exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.

It is not that you read a book, pass an examination and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Life is like a 1,000 page book. You want to quit halfway through, but then you realise you have a lot left to look forward to.

If you can always smile at life, life will always smile at you.

That best portion of a man's life; his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.

The combat of life is greater than every other earthly combat.
