You are most powerful when you are most silent. People never expect silence. They expect words, motion, defense, offense, back and forth. They expect to leap into the fray. They are ready, fists up, words hanging leaping from their mouths. Silence? No. ~Alison McGhee

We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox. ~Nicholas Sparks

Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given. ~Buddha

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant with the weak and wrong. Sometime in your life, you will have been all of these. ~Buddha

Love is more than just saying the words 'I love you' to someone, It takes commitment and trust. ~ Victoria Dawn Monks

If you love someone, show them. Because you could soon find yourself watching them walk out the door! Words mean nothing, But actions mean everything! ~Unknown

I was gonna share,
but I’m too hungry today,
so I changed my mind!
Nothing for you today.
I will eat the whole thing
all by myself! 😉
Sorry, little sis +Ashima Dogra

Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends. ~Alphonse de Lamartine

There is emotion in the hug, and there is respect and a form of love. Emotion that comes from honesty, respect that comes from challenge, and the form of love that exists between people whose minds have touched, whose hearts have touched, whose souls have touched. Our minds touched. Our hearts touched. Our souls touched. We separate. ~James Frey

Peace brings freedom that we crave,
From great stress, it shall save.
One main thing, it does assure,
We'll feel at ease and secure.
Peace brings friendliness and joy,
It is sacred, not a toy.
Rooted deeply in respect,
Justice something, must protect.
Peace brings us tranquility,
Along with much needed – stability.
Sense of quiet, and goodwill,
Peace is serene and very still.
