May you find comfort and joy in these encouraging quotes by Edward Bulwer-Lytton.
It is a wonderful advantage to a man,
in every pursuit or avocation,
to secure an adviser in a sensible woman.
In woman there is at once a subtle delicacy of tact,
and a plain soundness of judgement,
which are rarely combined to an equal degree in man.
A woman, if she be really your friend,
will have a sensitive regard for your character, honor, repute.
She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing:
for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you.
- Edward Bulwer-Lytton

for future generations.
Create the legacy of a better world.

to represent the kind of legacy
you want to leave to future generations.

Today would be a wonderful day
not to take life so seriously.
Today may end up the way you prefer -
and it may not.

being gentle with yourself.
Let life be a dance,
and choose the kind of
dance you want for today -
perhaps a gentle loving dance.

and vow never to criticize their nature -
the essence that makes them uniquely themselves.

The man who is awakened, lives in such a way
that he leaves no footprints.
- Osho quoting The Buddha
There is no evil and there are
no evil forces in the world.
There are only people of awareness,
and there are people who are fast asleep -
and sleep has no force.
The whole energy is in the hands of the awakened people.
And one awakened person can awaken the whole world.
One lighted candle can make millions of candles lighted
without losing it's light.
- Osho
The witnessing soul is like the sky.
The birds fly in the sky but they don't leave any footprints.
That's what Buddha says, that the man who is awakened
lives in such a way that he leaves no footprints.
He is without wounds and without scars; he never looks back -
there is no point. He has lived that moment so totally
that what is the need to look back again and again?
He never looks ahead, he never looks back, he lives in the moment.
- Osho

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men

to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances,
to choose one's own way.
- Viktor E. Frankl
Nearly all men can stand adversity,
