“He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.”

The greatest prayer is patience.

There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.

The darkest night is ignorance.

Those who have failed to work toward the truth have missed the purpose of living.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Your actions are your only belongings.

Be vigilant; guard your mind against negative thoughts.

Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.

He is able who thinks he is able.

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly our whole life would change.

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

Friendship is the only cure for hatred, the only guarantee of peace.

There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path.

There isn’t enough darkness in all the world to snuff out the light of one little candle.

Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth.

Purity or impurity depends on oneself, No one can purify another.

Love happens! I release the desperate need for love, and instead, allow it to find me in the perfect time-space sequence.

From my point of view, compatibilism is a little like saying: a puppet is free so long as it loves its strings.

You are mysterious, I love you. You’re beautiful, intelligent, and virtuous, and that’s the rarest known combination.

Those we most love cause us not only great joy but also great pain. LOVE is stronger than fear, life stronger than death, hope stronger than despair. We have to trust that the risk of loving is always worth taking.

Marriage is one of the most humbling, sanctifying journeys you will ever be a part of. It forces us to wrestle with our selfishness and pride. But it also gives us a platform to display love and commitment.

I can fall in love in a simple way, but I can dissect it in such an intense fashion when it ends.

When My Love Returns from the Ladies Room, Will I Be Too Old to Care?

Our humanity comes to its fullest bloom in giving. We become beautiful people when we give whatever we can give: a smile, a handshake, a kiss, an embrace, a word of love, a present, a part of our life…all of our life.
