Fate gave, what Chance shall not control, His sad lucidity of soul.
If someone remains in a peaceful and tranquil state of mind, external surroundings can cause them only a limited disturbance.
The problems we face today, violent conflicts, destruction of nature, poverty, hunger and so on, are human-created problems which can be resolved through human effort, understanding and the development of a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood. We need to cultivate a universal responsibility for one another and the planet we share.
We are driven by self-interest, it’s necessary to survive. But we need wise self-interest that is generous and co-operative, taking others’ interests into account. Co-operation comes from friendship, friendship comes from trust, and trust comes from kind-heartedness. Once you have a genuine sense of concern for others, there’s no room for cheating, bullying or exploitation.
The way to change others' minds is with affection, and not anger.
True friendship develops not as a result of money or power but on the basis of genuine human affection.
A simple smile. That's the start of opening your heart and being compassionate to others.
Power's twin is responsibility.
B2uty and Beast, Beast and B2uty, Let's get older together.
The affectation of sanctity is a blotch on the face of piety.
Without a Sabbath, no worship; without worship, no religion; and without religion, no permanent freedom.
