Happiness Never Decreases

Thousands of candles can be lighted
from a single candle, and the life of
the candle will not be shortened.
Happiness never decreases by being shared.

The Buddha

Astounding Ourselves

If we all did the things we
are capable of doing, we
would astound ourselves.

The Trick to Success

Something my father always told me was that
the trick to success is to know when you have
enough and stop and appreciate it.

The Best Course

Whatever is destined not to happen
will not happen, try as you may.
Whatever is destined to happen
will happen, do what you may to
prevent it. This is certain.
The best course, therefore,
is to remain silent.

Ramana Maharshi

You're the One

A teacher of fear can't bring peace on earth.
We have been trying to do it that way for
thousands of years. The person who turns
inner violence around, the person who finds
peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches
what true peace is. We are waiting for just
one teacher, You're the one.

Byron Katie

No Place

If you ain't where you are,
you're no place.

Colonel Sherman T. Potter, M*A*S*H

Covert Aggressives

It's not that they don't see,
it's that they disagree.
It's not that they're not aware enough,
it's that they don't care enough.

George Simon
