The sun shines equally on diamond and charcoal, but the former has developed qualities that enable it to reflect the sunlight brilliantly, while the latter is unable to reflect the sunlight. Emulate the diamond in your dealings with people. Brightly reflect the light of God's love.

There is in India a story of a dying youth who, hearing the sobs of grief around him, cried: Insult me not with your cries of sympathy. When I soar to the land of eternal light and love; it is I who should feel for you. For me, disease, shattering of bones, sorrow, excruciating heartaches no more. I dream joy, I glide in joy, I breathe in joy evermore.

In your heart must well that sympathy which soothes away all pains from the hearts of others.

Peace is the altar of God, the condition in which happiness exists.

What you lose in the world will not be a loss to your soul.

People are running, running, but there is no place in the world to which they can flee to escape themselves. Ultimately, each one must face himself.

Read a little. Meditate more. Think of God all the time.
