“When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily.”

Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.

The past is already gone, the future is not yet here. There’s only one moment for you to live, and that is the present moment

Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions for love.
