[When we drop our agendas] we begin to cultivate a mind of true goodness and compassion, which comes out of a concern for the Whole. As we live out of such a mind, we become generous, with no sense of giving or of making a sacrifice. We become open, with no sense of tolerance. We become patient, with no sense of putting up with anything. We become compassionate, with no sense of separation. And we become wise, with no sense of having to straighten anyone out.

If He`s interested in Buddha, Hc can create Buddhas. Why you?

You find yourself sad only in situations where you cannot be angry. The boss in the office says something and you cannot be angry; it is uneconomical.

We become responsible for the actions of others the instant we become conscious of what they are doing wrong and fail to remind them of what is right.

Marilyn MansonRather than accepting the drifting separation of the generations, we might begin to define a more complex and interesting set of life stages and parenting passages, each emphasizing the connections to the generations ahead and behind.

When I become a grandparent, I might expect to seek out older mentoring grandparents, and then later become a mentoring grandparent.
Richard LouvJesus has to be and become ever more the center of my life. It is not enough that Jesus is my teacher, my guide, my source of inspiration. It is not even enough that he is my companion on they journey, my friend and my brother.

Henri NouwenEvery child is simple, just a clean slate. Then the parents start writing on his slate - what he has to become. Then the teachers, the priests, the leaders - they all go on emphasizing that you have to become somebody; otherwise, you have wasted your life. Just the opposite is the case. You are a being. You need not become anybody else. That is the meaning of simplicity: remaining at ease with one's being, and not going on any track of becoming - which is unending.

She lusted after them, but she also wanted to beat them up. A rapist. She had become a rapist, driving to work in a car.

Barry LygaEthics cannot be based upon our obligations toward people, but they are complete and natural only when we feel this Reverence for Life and the desire to have compassion for and to help all creatures insofar as it is in our power.
