“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.

“Tiredness is a state of mind , which sometimes overpower even the hyper active and energetic people due to perpetual criticism, heedless attitude, hurting animosity and insensitive behavior by nearby fellow beings. The solution lies in power of meditation and lowering the need of expectations...”

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

"Failures are divided into two classes — those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought."

A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

A gentle word, a kind look, a good-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Our minds influence the key activity of the brain, which then influences everything; perception, cognition, thoughts and feelings, personal relationships; they're all a projection of you.

When we have a good balance between thinking and feeling... our actions and lives are always the richer for it.

“This is the key to life: To expect everything to be given to you from above, yet to be genuinely surprised and forever grateful, when they are. Expecting all good things to be yours, while not knowing how to take anything for granted. If there may be a key in life, this is the key.”

It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.

“It is better to have God over your shoulder, than carry the world alone on your back.”

Take life as it comes.

Those who improve with age embrace the power of personal growth and personal achievement and begin to replace youth with wisdom, innocence with understanding, and lack of purpose with self-actualization.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
