Quotes and things

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

Buddha


I have not lived untill I see God. And when I have seen Him, I will never die.

Me



I like your Chirst, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

Mohandas Gandhi


And a woman spoke, saying,
Tell us of Pain, and he said:
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.

And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; and you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over the fields.


Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet



The Absolute is The One. There are infinite aspects of The One. The Tao is The Way that The One flows, shifts and creates.
Do not confuse The Way with The One.

Lao Tzu
The Tao of Power


Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.

Basho



From the pine tree
learn of the pine.
And from the bamboo
of the bamboo.

Basho


A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the "universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Albert Einstein




There is no point at which the universe ends and God begins.


Me




But Jesus called for the children and said, "Let the children come unto me; do not try to stop them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child, will never enter it."

Jesus
Luke 18: 16-17 REV




Listen or thy tongue will keep thee deaf.

American Indian Proverb




If you understand, things are just as they are.
If you do not understand, things are just as they are.

Zen Proverb



I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.

Socrates



What the mind of man can conceive and believe, It can achieve."


Napoleon Hill




Nothing in the affairs of men is worthy of great anxiety.


Plato



Work like you don't need the money.
Dance like no one is watching.
And love like you've never been hurt.


Mark Twain
