“Finally, get involved in something that’s meaningful to you—a hobby, a charity, a political cause.”

Everything you do is your spiritual life.

Yesterday is but a dream. Tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

When we accept the temporary nature of everything in our lives, we can feel gratitude for the good fortune of getting to borrow them for a time.

We don’t have to do everything, that we can’t do everything, that what I can’t do is someone else’s gift and responsibility. My limitations make space for the gifts of other people

You are not your success or your failure.

Being present is the only way to live a truly rich and full life.

Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do.

Criticizing someone else’s work ethic doesn’t make you work harder.

When someone hurts you, it’s because they’re hurt. Their hurt is simply spilling over. They need help.

Negativity is a trait, not someone’s identity.

When the fear of staying the same outweighs the fear of change, that is when we change

A layperson who is consciously aiming to be continuously alive in the Now is a monk.

We are all connected; to each other, biologically. To the Earth, chemically. And to the rest of the universe, atomically.

Location has energy; time has memory. If you do something at the same time every day, it becomes easier and natural. If you do something in the same space every day, it becomes easier and natural.

Strengthened my resolve.

It is impossible to build one’s own happiness on the unhappiness of others.

Let not a single day pass without your learning a verse, half a verse, or a fourth of it, or even one letter of it; nor without attending to charity, study and other pious activity.

I have nothing else to say other than I wasn’t corrupt, unfair, or greedy. I was smart when it came to making decisions for my company, and I wasn’t greedy. I gave to others in charity and donated money to fund programs. I have nothing else to say.

That is not true I am not a greedy man because if I was why would i donate money to charity? I care about others as well.

Men lose all the material things they leave behind them in this world, but they carry with them the reward of their charity and the alms they give. For these, they will receive from the Lord the reward and recompense they deserve.

The best philanthropy is constantly in search of the finalities-a search for a cause, an attempt to cure evils at their source.

I was trained from the beginning to work, to save. I have always regarded it a as a religious duty to get all I could honorably and to give all I could.

Charity puts and end to poverty; righteous conduct to misery; discretion to ignorance; and scrutiny to fear.

With charity, money is purified. By service, our actions are purified. With music, our emotions are purified and with knowledge our intellect is purified.
