“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

Success is not about seeking constant external comparison; it's about appreciating the uniqueness and individuality of your own journey.

Believe you can and youre halfway there.

If you propose to speak, always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind.

Our task must be to free ourselves By widening our circle of compassion To embrace all living creatures And the whole of nature and its beauty.

God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.

The fire that warms us can also consume us; it is not the fault of the fire. The fault lies in us, in our want of control.
