Words to the Wise


"Life is just a chance to grow a soul"

A. Powell Davies

"To be moral is to discover fundamentally one's own being."

Simone De Beauvoir

"Love life and life will love you back, love people and they will love you back."

Arthur Rubinstein

"To be alive, to be able to see, to have houses, music, paintings-it's all a miracle. I have perfected the technique of living life from miracle to miracle."

Arthur Rubinstein

"When you truly feel this equal love for all, when your heart has expanded so much that it embraces the whole of creation, you will certainly not feel like giving up this or that. You will simply drop off from secular life as a ripe fruit drops from a tree. You will feel that the whole world is your home."

Ramana Maharishi

"When you come right down to it, all you have is yourself. The sun is a thousand rays in your belly. All the rest is nothing."

Pablo Picasso

"Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy."

Kahlil Gibran

"See as if for the first time a beautiful person or an ordinary object."

Shiva

"I am free when I am within myself."

George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

"The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up."

Paul Valery

"It is through creating, not possessing, that life is revealed."

Vida D. Scudder

"In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into a crystal clearness. Our lige is a long and arduous quest after Truth."

Mahatma Gandhi
