True love always brings joy to ourself and the one we love. If our love does not bring joy to both of us, it is not true love.
Nhat HanhThe reason we might lose love is because we are always looking outside of us, thinking that the object or action of love is out there. That is why we allow the love, the harmony, the mature understanding, to slip away from ourselves.
Nhat HanhThe kingdom of God is available to you in the here and the now. But the question is whether you are available to the kingdom.
Nhat HanhThey criticize the silent ones. They criticize the talkative ones. They criticize the moderate ones. There is no one in the world who escapes criticism.
