There are only two ways to live: Either without thinking of death...
or with the thought that you approach death with every hour of your
life. (Let those you love know it, real soon now, ya hear.)
The
more upset you are with other people and circumstances, and the more
satisfied you are with yourself, the further you are from wisdom.
Don't compare yourself with others. Compare yourself with only perfection.
It is not the space we occupy that is important, but the direction in which we move.
When
you want to escape from rage, do not walk, do not move, do not speak.
Your rage cannot be justified by anything. The reason for your rage is
always inside you.
Speak only when your words are
better than silence. For every time you regret that you did not say
something, you will regret a hundred times that you did not keep your
silence.
There are two ways not to suffer from poverty.
The first is to acquire more wealth. The second is to limit your
requirements. The first is not always in our power. The second is.
You
do not have the right to be unhappy with your life. If you are not
satisfied, see this as a reason to be unsatisfied with yourself. (And
for crying out loud, make a change!)
The more strictly and mercilessly you judge yourself, the more just and kind you will be in the judgement of others.
Every goal without a how, why or when, is just a wish.
Strive
for goodness without any expectations for rapid or noticeable success.
For the further you progress, the higher your ideal of perfection will
rise. Yet it is the process itself, this striving that justifies our
lives.
The greatest hunger a person is to be needed. Work to create that feeling in others.
The
greatest virtue is kindness. You can't love everyone, but you can be
kind to everyone. Kindness is unconquerable, so long as it is without
flattery or hypocrisy. For what can be the most insolent person do to
you if you continue to be kind.
Like a beautiful
flower, full of colour, but without scent, are the fine but fruitless
words of a person who does not act accordingly. Walk your talk!
No one cares how much you know. They want to know how much you care. (Get it, Doc?)
Only you can bring peace to yourself and triumph the principles is the path to peace. Integrity is everything.
The bad aint for good and the good aint forever. - Dr. Joe
Experience
is the teacher that will introduce you to your judgement - both good
and bad. Adversity is the teacher that will introduce you to yourself. -
