The seeds that are planted in my liberty at every moment, by God's will, are the seeds of my own identity, my own reality, my own happiness, my own sanctity.

- Thomas Merton

The path to personal freedom....is the mastery of intent, the mastery of the spirit, the mastery of love, the mastery of gratitude, and the mastery of life.

- Miguel Ruiz

An ignorant man doesn't know how little he knows, no matter how much he talks.

-Hãvamãl

I must also try to let my eyes sweep over the whole horizon with unfocused attention and delight in the riches and profusion of the totality of the scene.

Here is exuberance and extravagance.

Profusion of color.

Cacophony of sound.

Abundance.

- Esther deWaal

No fear that they may tread on me.

Downtrodden, the grass becomes a path.

-Blaga Dimitrova

We forget, sometimes, that we are called to give God's love and compassion first to our families, those who are the very life of our life.

- Mother Teresa

No one lights the lamp, and puts it under a basket, but on a lampstand, so all coming and going can see it's light.

- Jesus

Antagonize any situation, and you give it power against yourself;

Offer mental non-resistance, and it crumbles away in front of you.

- Emmett Fox

Approach those who have realized the purpose of life and question them with reverence and devotion; they will instruct you in this wisdom.

Once you attain it, you will never again be deluded.

- Bhagavad Gita

Your reason and your passion are the rudder and sales of your soul.

(seafaring soul)

If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss, and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.

Therefore, let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing; and let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the Phoenix rise above its own ashes.

- Khalil Gibran

Our heart wanders, lost in the dark woods.

Our dream wrestles in the castle of doubt.

But there's music in us.

- Jack Gilbert

Smile because the sun is shining

or because of the rain falling on your

face makes you feel alive.

-Rose C. L.

The someone who will not let you in

will not let me out.

-Rumi
