The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is not safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
"No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit."
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

Whatever you are, be a good one.
The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.
Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention. Still less can he afford to take all the consequences, including the vitiating of his temper and loss of self-control.
Things may come to those who wait. But only the things left by those who hustle.
Buddha
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
What we think, we become.

Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Gandhi
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness
I have endeavored to show that there is no real service of humanity in the profession [of medicine] and that it is injurious to mankind.
Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.
If you don't ask, you don't get.
Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - think of it, ALWAYS.
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.

Be the change you want to see in the world.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
The things that will destroy us are: politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity; and worship without sacrifice.
I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love.
Permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence.
Unity to be real must stand the severest strain without breaking.
Albert Einstein
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
People like you and I, though mortal of course like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live...[We] never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born.
The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.
obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity
We have to do the best we can. This is our sacred human responsibility.
I think and think for months and years, ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.
I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of his own creation. I cannot do this in spite of the fact that mechanistic causality has, to a certain extent, been placed in doubt by modern science. [He was speaking of Quantum Mechanics and the breaking down of determinism.] My religiosity consists in a humble admiratation of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak and transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality. Morality is of the highest importance -- but for us, not for God
Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty
Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.
Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.

Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
Try not to be a person
of success, but rather a person of virtue
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
Truth is what stands the test of experience.
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
Quantum mechanics is very impressive. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory yields a lot, but it hardly brings us any closer to the secret of the Old One. In any case I am convinced that He doesn't play dice.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.Eleanor Roosevelt
n the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die, and the choices that we make are ultimately our responsibility.
You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you cannot do.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right, for you'll be criticized anyway
A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.
He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend, loses much more, He who loses faith, loses all.
Friendship with oneself is all-important because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
Every time you meet a situation, though you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
When you cease to make a contribution; you begin to die.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.
MotherTeresa
Do not wait for leaders. Do it alone, person to person.
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.
If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
I have come to realize more and more that the greatest disease and the greatest suffering is to be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, to be shunned by everybody, to be just nobody [to no one]
All things pass... Patience attains all it strives for.
Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush; anxious for greater developments and greater wishes and so on; so that children have very little time for their parents; Parents have very little time for each other; and the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world.
I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Smile at each other; smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other- it doesn't matter who it is- and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other.
Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls
I do not pray for success. I ask for faithfulness.
To have courage for whatever comes in life-everything lies in that
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.
