Trouble is a part of your life, and if you don’t share it, you don’t give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough.

Dinah Shore

You don’t tell the quality of a master by the size of his crowds.

Richard Bach, Illusions

A human being is a part of the whole called by us “universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Albert Einstein

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

Ruth Rendell

Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.

Theodore Rubin

There is a great man who makes every man feel small. But the real great man is the man who makes every man feel great.

G.K. Chesterton

After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Aldous Huxley

Give up revenge! I see any desire to “prove myself” as a sort of revenge, an angry rebuttal to someone else’s expectations. Only act out of joy.

Elizabeth Rose Campbell

Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides, and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.

Teilhard de Chardin

The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe.
