If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?

-- Dogen

Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.

-- Sandra Carey

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

-- Agnes Repplier

Your attitude toward life in general is reflected in your response to the dawn of a new day.

-- J. N. Gehman

Life is the ultimate I.Q. test.

-- Alex Fraser

God gives the birds their food, but He does not throw it into their nests.

-- Greek Proverb

The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.

-- Florence Scovel Shinn

One man gets nothing but discord out of a piano; another gets harmony. No one claims the piano is at fault. Life is about the same. The discord is there. Study to play it correctly, and it will give forth the beauty; play it falsely, and it will give forth the ugliness. Life is not at fault.

-- Anonymous

Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate; As the voyage along through life; Tis the will of the soul That decides its goal, And not the calm or the strife.

-- Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Speak the truth wherever you may find it. Seek the truth wherever it is to be found. Don't confuse facts with truth. Facts may not even be facts at all. Most times, they're just opinions. Facts are relative. Truth is absolute. Instead of trying to force your facts on others, help them to find truth for themselves.

You're all brothers and sisters on a common journey towards your true potential. You have the power of God with you. You've always had it. You're as free as you will ever be. If your experience seems to be lacking in this freedom, it's only because you have been fettered in chains of your own forging. Lift up your head and look.

See with your true eyes and you'll never again be in bondage to yourself or to another. My will for you is really your own will for yourself.

-- John Harricharan

I know the path: it is straight and narrow.

It is like the edge of a sword. I rejoice to walk on it. I weep when I slip. God's word is: "He who strives never perishes." I have implicit faith in that promise. Though, therefore, from my weakness I fail a thousand times, I shall not lose faith.

-- Mahatma Gandhi

There is no need to run outside

For better seeing . . . Rather abide

At the center of your being;

For the more you leave it, the less you learn. Search your heart and see . . .

The way to do is to be.

-- Lao-tzu
