You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love & affection.

Look upon him who shows you your faults as a revealer of treasure: seek his company who checks and chides you, the sage who is wise in reproof: it fares well and not ill with him who seeks such company.

There is no fire like greed, No crime like hatred, No sorrow like separation, No sickness like hunger of heart, And no joy like the joy of freedom. Health, contentment and trust Are your greatest possessions, And freedom your greatest joy. Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, Know the sweet joy of living in the way.

Let your mind become clear like a still forest pool.

The glorious chariots of kings wear out, and the body wears out and grows old; but the virtue of the good never grows old.

The grudge you hold on to is like a hot coal that you intend to throw at someone, only you're the one who gets burned.

In this world Hate never yet dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the law, Ancient and inexhaustible.
