Don't always think in a straight line.Whenever you meet difficult situations dash forward bravely and joyfully. - Tsunetomo Yamamoto, Hagakure If you know the art of breathing you have the strength, wisdom and courage of ten tigers. - Chinese adage The Way of a Warrior is based on humanity, love, and sincerity; the heart of martial valor is true bravery, wisdom, love, and friendship. Emphasis on the physical aspects of warriorship is futile, for the power of the body is always limited. - Ueshiba Morihei, The Art Of Peace “Come to the edge, he said. They said: We are afraid. Come to the edge, he said. They came. He pushed them and they flew.” Abraham Joshua Heschel: "The problem to be faced is: how to combine loyalty to one's own tradition with reverence for different traditions." “Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?" Priest: "No, not if you did not know." Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?"” "Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it." Rabindranath Tagore “What you don't see with your eyes, don't witness with your mouth.” “I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes -- until I met a man who had no feet.” As he thinks in his heart, so he is. "All that is thought should not be said, all that is said should not be written, all that is written should not be published, all that is published should not be read." "Death is merely moving from one home to another. The wise man will spend his main efforts in trying to make his future home the more beautiful one." “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech “Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it” “People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” “The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart” “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart” “When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.” “A beauty is a woman you notice; a charmer is one who notices you.” “So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked.” Mark Twain “In India, I found a race of mortals living upon the Earth, but not adhering to it, inhabiting cities, but not being fixed to them, possessing everything, but possessed by nothing” Apollonius Tyanaeus
