When you examine the lives.... (Einstein)

When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.


Holding on to anger... (Buddha)

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Buddha

The quieter you become (Rumi)

The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.


~ Rumi

Love (Robert Hoffman)

Love is the flowing, the outpouring, the rendering from the heard and soul of emotional goodness to yourself first - and then to others in your life.


~ Hoffman Process

The Day the child... (Alden Nowlan)

The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent;
The day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; 
The day he forgives himself, he becomes wise.

When I heal my wounds (Thich Nhat Hanh)

When I heal my wounds
It heals my father's,
and it heals the wounds
of future generations.
The cycle stops.

~  Thich Nhat Hanh

We all share an identical need for love (Dalai Lama)

We all share an identical need for love. I try to meet whoever I meet as an old friend. This gives me a genuine feeling of happiness. It is the practice of compassion. 

~ The Dalai Lama
