The mother is everything –
she is our consolation in sorrow,
our hope in misery,
and our strength in weakness.
She is the source of love, mercy,
sympathy, and forgiveness.
He who loses his mother
loses a pure soul
who blesses and guards him constantly.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it

Even after all this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
"You owe me."

Look what happens
with a love like that,
It lights the whole sky

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.

To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong.

The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word ‘crisis’. One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger – but recognize the opportunity.

Life doesn’t give you a second canvas. So all you can do is paint on. And, sometimes, even over.

This place where you are right now, God circled on a map for you.
