Only
if people knew how sweet the joy of God is, they would not trade it
for anything in the world.
-
Religion
is not what people think it is. True
religion is the realization that everything in this world, animate or
inanimate, is a part of one Mighty Whole and we are interconnected in
subtle ways.
-
We
can find out quickly how fortunate we are if we compare our bad times
with worse times of others.
-
We
like to value our own things more than those of others.
A man was cleaning his shoes with a silk towel.
When asked why he was using silk to clean his shoes, he
replied, "The shoes are mine and the towel belongs to my
father."

Wisdom
does not come from talking, it comes from thinking, and thinking comes
from calmness. Wisdom also comes from experience. We learn fast by our
own mistakes.
-
Those
who use the pronouns I, me, and mine
more than we, us, and ours
generally get sick more often than others.
-
Selfishness
leads to illness. Medical
research shows "the more self-centered people are much more
likely to die of heart attack than the less self-centered."

Do
not be so sure of what you see. The
sky appears blue, but when you go up there the sky neither exists nor
is it blue.
-
Courage
is not the absence of fear. Courage
is the willingness to set aside greed, anger, and hatred and make room
for love, kindness, and compassion.
-
Satisfaction
in life is not accidental, it depends upon what you do, when you do,
and how you do it.
-
See
others as they are, not as you think they are.
-
Remember
your best is always better than someone else's best.
-
Study,
think, and act for success; any deviation will result in failure.
-
Emotion
and anger are enemies of understanding.
If
you lose your sleep for any reason, you could lose yourself for the
same reason.
