Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens
to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something
bigger and better than your current situation.
Brian Tracy
If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt,
we must leave them more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them
a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through
with it.
Lyndon B. Johnson
One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude
to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary
raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for
the soul of the child.
Carl Gustav Jung
Thanksgiving comes to us out of the prehistoric dimness, universal to all ages
and all faiths. At whatever straws we must grasp, there is always a time for
gratitude and new beginnings.
J. Robert Moskin
"A dream not properly understood remains a mere occurrence; understood
it becomes a living experience...Treat every dream as though it were an unknown
object. Look at it from all sides, take it in your hand and carry it about with
you, let your imagination play around it."
Jung
"The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this:
that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing
created is loved before it exists." -
Charles Dickens
Freedom from the compulsion to think is real freedom
Peace will not come out of a clash of arms but out of justice lived and done
by unarmed nations in the face of odds
(Mahatma Ghandi)
Anyone who practices can obtain success in yoga but not one who is lazy. Constant
practice alone is the secret of success. (Hatha Yoga Pradipika)The
thought manifests as the word.
The word manifests as the deed.~ The deed develops into habit. ~ And habit hardens into character.~ So watch
the thought and its way with care,~ And let it spring from love.~ Born out of
concern for all beings.~ As the shadow follows the body,~ As we think, we will
become.
Dhammapada, Lama Surya Das.
