Quotes
Life
"Do not be too moral. You might cheat yourself out of much of life. Aim high above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something."
~Thoreau
"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life.
But, there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that times waits for no one."
~Souza
"Living is the best yoga."
~Bartholomew
"Life can be measured only by the experiences we accumulate on this earth. By its very nature, life is a potpourri of events. The purpose of life is to learn to appreciate the various aspects of ourselves. As we experience life's ups and downs, hopefully we grow in the knowledge and wisdom of ourselves as loving spiritual beings."
~James Van Praagh
"We are all travelers on a cosmic journey. Life is eternal. But the expressions of life are momentary, transient. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share with caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other an this moment will have been worthwhile."
~Deepak Chopra
Creativity
"The most visible creators I know of are those artist whose medium is life itself. The ones who express the inexpressible - without brush, hammer, clay or guitar. They neither paint nor sculpt - their m edium is being. Whatever their presence touches has increased life. They see and don't have to draw. They are the artists of being alive!"
~unknown
"We are living art, created to hang on, stand up, forbear, continue, and encourage others."
~Maya Angelou
Soul
"Since we cannot know what is being healed through each interaction, what karmic debts are coming to conclusion, we cannot judge what we see. "
~Gary Zukav
"You cannot, and will not, encounter a circumstance, or a single moment, that does not serve directly and immediately the need for your soul to heal, to come into wholeness."
~ Gary Zukav
Noble Nature
"A generous nature is a noble nature a kind nature that is
loving and giving and forgiving, a nature that rejoices in
the good fortune of others and allows for the weaknesses of
others in a true spirit of humility that recognizes one's own
weaknesses. It is a nature that seeks to alleviate the
sufferings of others, not to aggravate them with self-righteous
condemnation or ruthless aggression. It is a nature in which
there is little room for jealousy or covetousness or contempt.
It is a nature that is warm and caring. At this point, perhaps,
I should hasten to say that I am not talking about saints except
perhaps in the sense of the definition that saints are the sinners
who go on trying. I am simply talking of the kind of people who can
help to make our life a little happier in spite of the unavoidable
trials and tribulations of worldly existence."
~Aung San Suu Kyi
Success
"Well, I don't know quite what you mean by success.
Material success? Worldly success? Personal, emotional success?
The people I consider successful are so because of how they handle their responsibilities to other people,
how they approach the future,
people who have a full sense of the value of their life
and what they want to do with it.
I call people successful not because they have money or their business is doing well
but because, as human beings,
they have a fully developed sense of being alive
and engaged in a lifetime of collaberation with other human beings, - their mothers and fathers, their family, their friends, their loved ones, their friends who are dying, the friends who are being born.
Success?...
Don't you know it's all about being able to extend love to people?
Really. Not in a big, capital-letter sense but in the everyday.
Little by little, task by task, gesture by gesture, word by word."
~Ralph Fiennes
