“You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.”

“Home is the place, where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.”  

“Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.”

Being Human is Given. But keeping our Humanity is a Choice.

Control anger before it controls you.

The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.

“When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.”

“It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved.”

“That is what compassion does. It challenges our assumptions, our sense of self-limitation, worthlessness, of not having a place in the world, our feelings of loneliness and estrangement. These are narrow, constrictive states of mind. As we develop compassion, our hearts open.”

Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don’t wish it were easier; wish you were better.

“The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.”

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.
