We
are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
George
Bernard Shaw
Beginning with the early dawn of each day, I will radiate joy to
everyone I meet. I will be mental sunshine for all who cross my
path. Before the unfailing light of my cheer, darkness will take
flight.
Paramahansa
Yogananda
Angels fly because they take themselves lightly.
Scottish
Proverb
I like to remind my friends frequently how short life is. This is
the important message of death: not a day to waste, not a day to
quarrel, not a day to brood upon yourself. This is not losing the
joy of life; this is gaining the joy of life.
Eknath
Easwaran
International war is the sum total of millions of individual wars,
raging in the minds of the people, between what is selfish and what
is selfless. To the extent that you and I develop selflessness in
our own hearts, to that extent we contribute to peace in our family,
community, country, and world.
Eknath
Easwaran
Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
Martin
Luther King, Jr.
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent
of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.
The
Buddha
O Great Spirit, help me always to speak the truth quietly, to listen
with an open mind when others speak, and to remember the peace that
may be found in silence.
Cherokee
Prayer
Disturbing the peace is a crime. When you rant and rave and stomp
and fret over life’s petty grievances, arrest yourself!
Carol
Ann Morrow
When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.
African
Proverb
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into
enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order,
confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into
a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Melody
Beattie
When you place your priority on listening rather than speaking,
you become an irresistible force for good in the world.
Lee
Glickstein
The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.
William
James
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also
what it takes to sit down and listen.
Winston
Churchill
Health depends on a state of equilibrium among the various factors
that govern the operation of the body and the mind; the equilibrium
in turn is reached only when man lives in harmony with his external
environment.
Hippocrates (circa 400 B.C.)
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will
flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow
their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while
cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
John
Muir
Physical health doesn't exist apart from the health of other things.
Health ultimately involves the community, and the community ultimately
involves the place and natural life of that place, so that real
health is harmony with the world.
Wendell Berry
All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second,
it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
Arthur
Schopenhauer
