"Before I was born who was I?
After I am born who am I?
Respect yourself, everyone will respect you.
Understand yourself, everyone will understand you.
There are mirrors all around you, strive to see and understand yourself.
Strive to have the heart of a Buddha.
Stop doing bad things, only do good.
Do whatever you can to help others.
In these ways help yourself.
Help yourself, and you help the world.
Amituofo!"
-Sifu Shi Yan Ming

"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.”
"I'm all for world peace, an end to hunger, poverty, homelessness, and sickness. And most people would say 'but what can I do?' It seems to me that the places to fight cruelty are wherever you find it. And the times to give your help are whenever it is needed."
“Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.”
"How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?”
-Albert Einstein
"Some emotions don't make a lot of noise. It's hard to hear pride. Caring is real faint - like a heartbeat. And pure love - why, some days it's so quiet, you don't even know it's there.”
