If you want to be a calm,
peaceful person, behave as if you are a calm, peaceful person; before
you know it, you will become calmer and more peaceful.
Suzette
Fram
Look sharply after
your thoughts, They come unlooked for, like a new bird seen in your
trees, and, if you turn to your usual task, disappear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If all our
misfortunes were laid in one common heap whence everyone must take an
equal
portion, most people would be contented to take their own and depart.
Socrates
Do not anticipate
trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin_Franklin
Don't look forward to the
day you stop suffering, because when it comes you'll know you're dead.
Tennessee Williams
Have no fear of perfection--you'll never reach it.
Salvador Dali
Luxury is an ancient notion. There was once a Chinese mandarin who had
himself wakened three times every morning simply for the pleasure of
being told it was not yet time to get up.
Argosy
If you
think you're beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you'd like to win, but think, you can't
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you will lose, you're lost;
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will,
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to hustle before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
ANON-
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take
part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but
the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have
fought well.
The Olympic Creed.
The weariest night, the
longest days, sooner or later must perforce come to an end.
Baroness Orczy
Every act
of life, from the morning toothbrush to the friend at dinner, became an
effort. I hated the night when I couldn't sleep and I hated the day
because it went toward night.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The artist's personality,
built upon strong desires and compassionate vision, is by its nature
prone to depression.
Eric Maisel
Our
doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we might win, by fearing
to attempt.
William Shakespeare.
Whenever a thought arises, do not be carried away by it. You
become aware of the body when you forget the Self. But can you
forget the Self ? Being the Self how can you forget it?
There must be two selves for one to forget the other. It is absurd.
So the Self is not depressed, nor is it imperfect. It is very happy.
The contrary feeling is a mere thought which actually has no
stamina in it. Be rid of thoughts. Being the Self one remains
always realised. Only be free from thoughts.
Ramana Maharshi Absolute Consciousness.
The person who moves a mountain begins by
carrying away small stones.
