There is nothing,which gives you a joy equal to that of gratitude.One hears a bird sing,sees a lovely flower,looks at a little child,observes an act of generosity,reads a beautiful sentence,looks at the setting sun,no matter what,suddenly this comes upon you,that the manifests the divine,that there is something behind the world,which is Divine.

He who thinks evil,drives himself to evil.In course of time,he becomes evil.

Many of us, alas stand as beggars before the world asking for a few crumbs of possessions, pleasure,and power.

A simple world,a little act,a tiny thought-filled with love-can take a person out of the darkness of despair,into the light of hope and joy.
