Henry Miller

If there is to be any peace, it will come through being, not having.

Kahlil Gibran

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

Success reminder on our fridge

"The inner satisfaction and peace of mind that come from knowing I did the best I was capable of doing."

It has nothing to do with the number of games you win, the number of contacts in your phone or how much money you have. Those as all results of being a successful person.

The DALAILAMA

If one’s life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements. And finally, there is an intense delight in abandoning faulty states of mind and in cultivating helpful ones in meditation.

BURIPIDES

Our lives . . . are but a little while, so let them run as sweetly as you can, and give no thought to grief from day to day. For time is not concerned to keep our hopes, but hurries on its business, and is gone.

Selfless

Philippians 2:3 (New International Version)
3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Be glad for today

Psalm 118:24 (New International Version)
24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

old asian proverb

A person who doesn’t know but knows that he doesn’t know is a student; teach him.

A person who knows but who doesn’t know that he knows is asleep; awaken him.

But a person who knows and knows that he knows is wise; follow him.

Zen saying

If enlightenment is not where you are standing, where will you look?
