Wise sayings often fall on barren ground, but a kind word is never thrown away.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” 

A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck
a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may
heal and bless.

“Deep rivers run quiet.” 

“The strength we find within ourselves gives us endurance and perseverance power.” 

“The source to low self-esteem is the lack of control you feel you have in your life. If you spend your life competing with others, trying to make right the wrongs done to you, or waste your time trying to look right, you will never achieve contentment and emotional balance. People you encounter in life can’t be controlled by you. You only have control of yourself. Build your life around a relationship with a higher power and achieving what you’re passionate about. When you let go of what you can’t control, true peace can then enter your life. This is the path to achieving emotional balance.” 

“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” 

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

“Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depths of some devine despair
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy autumn fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more.”
― Alfred Tennyson

It is always brave to say what everyone thinks.

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.

A man asked a sculptor "How do you make such beautiful idols from stone? He replied "Idols and images are already hidden there. I remove the unwanted stone only. Happiness is hidden in us. We need just to remove our worries.
