I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

What is most needed is a loving heart.

Whatever an enemy might do to an enemy, or a foe to a foe, the ill-directed mind can do to you even worse.

The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness by what it chooses to compare the experience with. If it chooses to compare it to something worse then it will create happiness, gratitude and pride but if it chooses to compare it to something better then it will create unhappiness, bitterness and envy.

When you realize how perfect [or at least better than it could be] everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.
