“It is very rare or almost impossible that an event can be negative from all points of view.”

Seek to be an oasis of caring and concern as you live your life.

Compassion is the radicalism of our time.

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives.

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.

A truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change even if they behave negatively or hurt you.

People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own happiness or satisfaction.

Happiness doesn’t always come from a pursuit. Sometimes it comes when we least expect it.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness.

When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

All suffering is caused by ignorance.

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow.

True change is within; leave the outside as it is.

The way to change others’ minds is with affection, and not anger.

Whether one is rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or nonbelieving, man or woman, black, white, or brown, we are all the same.

Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay.

An eye for an eye. We are all blind.

All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.

Nothing is impossible unless you think it is.

Never let an impossible situation intimidate you. Let it motivate you – to pray more, trust more, expect more.

When the stakes are this high- when calling God by the right name can make the difference between eternal happiness and eternal suffering, it is impossible to respect the beliefs of others who don’t believe as you do.

We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ’s steps, and let the world say what it likes.

Worry retards reaction and makes clear-cut decisions impossible.

You can only succeed. You cannot fail. Failure is impossible; it is an illusion. Nothing is a failure. Nothing. Everything moves the human story, and hence the process of evolution, forward. Everything advances you on your journey.

Do you understand that it’s impossible to please God in any way other than wholehearted surrender?
