Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day likea football, and it will be round and full at evening. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes
The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions. ~Chanakya
“With a tranquil and peaceful heart, the road is smooth. With a broad and open heart, the road is wide.”
We need to cherish current circumstances and be at ease with their passing to avoid disturbing our mind with worries. ~Master Cheng Yen
When autumn wind goes running
It does some magic things.
It gives the shadows dancing shoes,
It gives the bright leaves wings –
When autumn wind goes running.
It curls the bonfire’s tail of smoke
And shares a little whispered joke
With cornstalks who delight to prattle,
It turns a seed pod into a rattle –
When autumn wind goes running.
~Unknown
Go out into the world today and love the people you meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people. ~Mother Teresa
Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly, even if they roll a few stones upon it. ~Albert Schweitzer
More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. From the time you read this letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart! ~The Writings of Nichiren Daishoni
When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up. But even a tree that has grown up in place may fall over if its roots are weak. Even a feeble person will not stumble if those supporting him are strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall down on an uneven path. ~The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
In our struggle for freedom, truth is the only weapon we possess. – Dalai Lama
