I've got a bit of a sense of humour that can be compared to a high-wire act...
Also, I love quotes. Here are a few of my favorite ones:
"The Love that you withhold is the pain you get to carry. Life time after life time..."
"Love costs all we are and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free."
"The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that outlasts it."
"What is Truth? But the moment revealed. What is Light? But God concealed..."
"Can we realize, as we have discovered, that everything that happens to us does so for the one purpose of revealing to us something of our present nature...and, in so doing, invites us to transcend who we have been?"
"Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings."
"Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself believe."
"The past is as powerless to darken the present moment as is a shadow to reach up and drag down the form that casts it."
"Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible, it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could."
"If you want to know the past, to know what has caused you, look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the past's effect. If you want to know your future, then look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the cause of the future."
"Each is like a river that leaves behind its name and shape, the whole course of its path, to vanish into the vast sea of God."
"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity."
"Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth."
"As long as we're at war with our own minds, we are at war with the world."
"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."
"There is nothing in the world that does not speak to us. Everything and everybody reveals their own nature, character, and secrets continuously. The more we open up our inner senses, the more we can understand the voice of everything."
"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."
"If we put a drop of water on a rock in the sunshine, it will soon evaporate. But in the ocean, it will never be lost."
"What we feel, we attract. What we imagine, we become."
"The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the dark hours."
"In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed & the first of that which comes; so with present time."
"You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give."
"Continuing to cling to the patterns you know inhibits your ability to discover what you don't know."
"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."
"Ultimately success is not something you achieve; it is who you are, it is a way of being."
"But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing."
"You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you."
"To know what people really think, pay regard to what they do, rather than what they say."
"No person was ever honoured for what he received. Honour has been the reward for what he gave."
"Freedom from pain is also freedom from love, growth and joy -- Like the four seasons, these make one wholeness, forever changing and yet forever inseparable."
"Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love."
"I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing."
"What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal."
"Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living, the other helps you make a life."
"The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise."
"Dreams are like the paints of a great artist. Your dreams are your paints, the world is your canvas. Believing, is the brush that converts your dreams into a masterpiece of reality."
"We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold in them."
"We are betrayed by what is false within."
"You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith."
"How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours."
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."
"Every moment that you're living and breathing is another opportunity for something great."
"One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, 'What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?'"
"Every man is guilty of all the good he didn't do."
"Many persons have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose."
"One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests."
Q: How are we going to change the world together?
A: Simply by being a light for those who have yet to find the right path. Lead by example, be the best human that you can be, and bring together creative and adventurous people whenever possible.
