“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.”

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. (Pele)

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

The less you respond to negative people, the more positive your life will become.

“War does not determine who is right — only who is left.”

“The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.”

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”

“It’s not what we have in life, but who we have in our life that matters.”

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

Life Doesn’t Come With A Manual. It Comes With A Mother

“What we all have in common is an appreciation of kindness and compassion; all the religions have this. Love. We all lean towards love.”

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
