In order to give up evil and cultivate the good you don’t have to
go looking anywhere else. If your mind has gone bad, don’t go looking
over at this person and that person. Just look at your own mind and find
out where these thoughts come from. Why does the mind think such
things? Understand that all things are transient. Love is transient,
hate is transient.

~Ajahn Chah

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom
to be yourself-and
especially to feel, or not feel.
Whatever you happen to be feeling at
any moment
is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to –
letting
a person be what he really is.

― Jim Morrison

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experience of trial and suffering
can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired,
and success achieved.

~Helen Keller

Wear a smile and have friends;
wear a scowl and have wrinkles.
What do we live for if not to make the world
less difficult for each other?

~George Eliot

You will find meaning in life only if you create it.
It is not lying there somewhere behind the bushes,
so you can go and you search a little bit and find it.
It is not there like a rock that you will find.
It is a poetry to be composed,
it is a song to be sung,
it is a dance to be danced.

Osho

Once you have started seeing the beauty of life,
ugliness starts disappearing.
If you start looking at life with joy,
sadness starts disappearing.
You cannot have heaven and hell together,
you can have only one.
It is your choice.

~Osho

World history tells us that racial discrimination, colour bar, religious fanaticism and greed for political power and wealth have created enormous misfortunes, miseries and troubles in this world and have taken a heavy toll of lives in a cruel way. These issues have never contributed anything towards peace and happiness. People who are thirsty for power and wealth and intoxicated with jealously* always create troubles and often try to justify their cruel acts by talking nonsense and by offending others. We are living in a world which is physically united and mentally divided.

~Ven. Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda
