We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest for all. ~Dorothy Day
Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants. ~Benjamin Franklin
We always work for a better tomorrow
But when tomorrow comes,
instead of enjoying,
We again think of a better tomorrow
Let’s have a better today. ~sms
When you are down
And you want to get high,
Just take a good look
Up in the sky.
What you will see
Are the stars above,
And all you need
Is to proclaim your love.
Who you will find
And see so clear,
Are friends in mind
You want to hold near.
Whenever you need them
Just look up high,
Call their name
And see them fly.
Every friend you meet
Owns a star
And you can see them
No matter how far.
Whenever you are down
And want to get high,
Just take a good look
Up in the sky.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another’s, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises. ~Leo Buscaglia
True peace is always possible. Yet it requires strength and practice, particularly in times of great difficulty. To some, peace and nonviolence are synonymous with passivity and weakness. In truth, practicing peace, to make peace alive in us, is to actively cultivate understanding, love, compassion, even in the face of misperception and conflict. Practicing peace, especially in times of war, requires courage. ~ Creating True Peace, by Thich Nhat Hahn
The only peace we can find is in our soul, when we accept the truth of our nature, the beauty of God and the gift of life. ~Unknown
It takes a lot of energy to be negative. You have to work at it. But smiling is painless. I’d rather spend my energy smiling. ~Eric Davis
To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. ~Buddha
