Actions speak louder than words
“A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving, and fearless, then he is in truth called wise.”
Words are more powerful than you realize
“Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.”
Fear is the mind-killer
“The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.”
No one can help you in your path but you
“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”
Spiritual living is part of being fulfilled
“Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.”
Friends are more important than you realize
“An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.”
Find out the truth for yourself
“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
Love is the answer
“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.”
Health is in the moment
“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.”
Live life to the fullest
“In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.”
