If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. ~Mother Teresa

Five great enemies to peace inhabit with us: avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride. If those enemies were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace. ~Francesco Petrarch

If in this present age we were to go back to the old time of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," there would be very few hon. gentlemen in this House who would not, metaphorically speaking, be blind and toothless. ~Mr. Graham, 1914, Canadian House of Parliament member, commonly attributed to Mahatma Gandhi as "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind."

"I write these words to name myself- to name each of us- worthy of going home, worthy of having our longing met, worthy of awakening in the arms of the Beloved. Finding & voicing our soul’s longing is not enough. Our ability to live in a way that is consistent with our longing- our ability to dance- is dependent upon what we believe we must do. If our intention is to change who we essentially are, we will fail. If our intention is to become who we essentially are, we cannot help but live true to the deepest longings of our soul." ~ Oriah from The Dance

Everyone has a built-in, Happiness-Now Button, that can instantly change how they feel.

Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another.- Unknown

If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.- George Orwell

For they can conquer who believe they can.- Virgil

JAGG · 03-15-2012, 06:50 PM

As long as you hold onto the belief that anyone on earth can do anything to you, you will be outside the truth of who you are. People cannot change who you are and what you were born to be. The truth is that we all forget that we are divine, abundant, endlessly loving beings, and we act out of our human fears, beliefs and perceptions. When you forgive, you remind yourself of the truth of who you are – you access the unlimited power that lives in the soul of you.- Coco Fossland

Accept that whatever you are not willing to risk, is keeping you hinged in fear, attachment, and struggle. - Unknown

The only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has limits.-Albert Einstien

"When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other."
