To those who are given much, much is expected.
― Maya AngelouWhen things go bad, don’t go with them.
― Elvis Presley, Elvis: Ultimate GospelStrange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men – above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.
― Albert EinsteinI am not an optimist, but a great believer of hope.
― Nelson MandelaFor those who are not frightened by the solitude, everything will have a different taste.
In solitude, they will discover the love that might otherwise arrive unnoticed.
In solitude, they will understand and respect the love that left them.
In solitude, they will be able to decide whether it is worth asking that lost love to come back or if they should simply let it go and set off along a new path.
In solitude, they will learn that saying ‘No’ does not always show a lack of generosity and that saying ‘Yes’ is not always a virtue.
And those who are alone at this moment, need never be frightened by the words of the devil: ‘You’re wasting your time.’
Or by the chief demon’s even more potent words: ‘No one cares about you.’
The Divine Energy is listening to us when we speak to other people, but also when we are still and silent and able to accept solitude as a blessing.
And when we achieve that harmony, we receive more than we asked for.
― Paulo Coelho, Manuscript Found in AccraThe past has no power to stop you
from being present now.
Only your grievance about
the past can do that.
What is grievance?
The baggage of old
thought and emotion.
― Lao TzuI don’t regret my painful times, i bare my scars as if they were medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery; the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that that smile dimmed by tears
― Paulo CoelhoGod always gives his best to those who leave the choice with him
― Jim ElliotPrayer is the mortar that holds our house together.
― Mother TeresaThe difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination.
― Tommy Lasorda
