Live simply that others might simply live.

Live simply that others might simply live.
-Elizabeth Ann Seton
Why don't you simply understand that events are happening outside and your life
is within you. Then whatever happens outside, why should your life be affected
by it ? It does, because you forcibly perceive yourself being attached to it.
-Deep Trivedi
What difference does it make, whether you live in a big city or in a community of homes? The real life is within.
-Khalil Gibran
The evil ruler spoils the word, the plan of life, by his teachings. He, indeed, deprives me of the exalted goal of good thought. With the word of my spirit, I pray to You, O Wise One, and to truth!
Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life.
-Natalie Babbitt
"Tuck Everlasting"
Do not race after riches, do not risk your life for success, or you will let slip the heaven within you.
There are two ways of passing from this world – one in light, and one in darkness. When one passes in light he does not come back but when one passes in darkness he returns.
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
-Plato
One’s entire life is a continuous process of learning. Any process of inquiry is related to learning. But basically our inquiry should be concerned with finding out what is transient and what is permanent. This is true knowledge.
You say: “He lost his life” or “my life”, as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
