All that we are arises With our thoughts. With our thoughts, We make our world.~ Buddha We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.~ Buddha What we think, we become.~ Buddha Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.~ Buddha When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.~ Buddha Ye must leave righteous ways behind, not to speak of unrighteous ways.~ Buddha You are all the Buddha.~ Buddha You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.~ Buddha Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.~ Buddha No other theory is adequate to explain or comprehend the Declaration of Independence. It is the product of the spiritual insight of the people. We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our Declaration. Our Declaration created them. The things of the spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren sceptre in our grasp. If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it. We must not sink into a pagan materialism. We must cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which they showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshiped.~ Calvin Coolidge Do your duty, and leave the rest to heaven.~ Pierre Corneille There can be no peace on earth as long as there is war in love.~ Dieter Duhm 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 feelings 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. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.~ Albert Einstein We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.~ Viktor Frankl The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.~ Khalil Gibran Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe A man has to live with himself, and he should see to it that he always has good company.~ Justice Charles Evans Hughes Each progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand mediocre minds appointed to guard the past.~ Maurice Maeterlinck In every declining civilization there is a small "remnant" of people who adhere to the right against the wrong; who recognize the difference between good and evil and who will take an active stand for the former and against the latter; who can still think and discern and who will courageously take a stand against the political, social, moral, and spiritual rot or decay of their day.~ Donald S. McAlvaney The whole freedom of man consists either in spiritual or civil liberty.~ John Milton Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
