the right thing. You may never know what results come from
you action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."

"A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe,
a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself,
his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest,
a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion
is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal
desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening
our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and
the whole of nature in its beauty." ~Albert Einstein

"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become

your habits.
Keep your habits positive because your habits become your
values.
Keep your values positive because your values become your
destiny." ~Gandhi
"If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you
will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors.
All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your
body. You are the continuation of each of these people."

"The fewer the words, the better the prayer." ~Martin
Luther
"Everything we do, everything we are, rests on our personal
power. If we have enough of it, one word is enough to change
the course of our lives. If we don't, the most magnificent
piece of wisdom can be revealed to us and that revelation
won't make a damn bit of difference.
Do you know that at this very moment you are surrounded by
eternity? And do you know you can use that eternity, if you
so desire? Do you know that you can extend yourself forever
in any direction and use it to take the totality of yourself
forever in any direction? Do you know that one moment can
be eternity? If you had enough personal power, my words alone
would serve as a means to round up the totality of yourself
and get to the crucial part of it out of the boundaries in
which it is contained." ~Carlos Castaneda
