Nobody can do everything,
but everyone can do something.

~Author Unknown

Happiness is like a butterfly.
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you turn your attention to other things,
It comes and sits softly on your shoulder.

~Henry David Thoreau

Peace is not something you wish for,
it is something you make,
something you are, something you do,
and something you give away.

~Robert Fulghum

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquirewhether or not they are worthy…this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy. ~Thomas Merton

Like a beautiful flower,
full of colour, but without scent,
are the fine but fruitless words
of those who do not act accordingly.
But like a beautiful flower,
full of colour and full of scent,
are the fine and fruitful words
of those who do act accordingly.

~Buddha

This is the supreme lotus
and is considered to be
the true lotus of Buddha.

Life seems easy for one who is shameless,
who is a crowing hero, a mischief-maker,
an insulting, impudent, and corrupt person.
But life seems difficult for one who is modest,
who always looks for what is pure,
who is detached, quiet, clear, and intelligent.

~Buddha

Do not speak anything harsh.
Those who are spoken to will answer you.
Angry talk is painful, and retaliation will touch you.
If you make yourself as still as a broken gong,
you have attained nirvana, for anger is not known to you.

~Buddha

Whoever does wrong to an innocent person
or to one who is pure and harmless,
the wrong returns to that fool
just like fine dust thrown against the wind.

~Buddha

Yesterday I was angry with God.
Today I am angry with my anger.
My Lord tells me
That if anger is the problem
In my life,
Then the immediate solution
Is love.
