Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Love is a decision – not an emotion!

There is a time to live and a time to die but never to reject the moment.

Just remain in the center; watching. And then forget that you are there.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.

He who defends with love will be secure; Heaven will save him, and protect him with love.

On a mission, your worst enemy is idle time.

A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.

Having strong enemies is a blessing.

Premature certainty is the enemy of the truth.

We’re taught at such an early age to be against the communists, yet most of us don’t have the faintest idea what communism is. Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is.
