To enjoy good health,
to bring true happiness to one's family,

Naturally, the common people don't want war ...
but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy,
and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along,
whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship,
or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought
to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is tell them
they are being attacked,
and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism
and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same in every country.
- Hermann Goering

The success of love is in the loving -

does not determine the value of what we have done.
- Mother Teresa

Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected
in a cosmic religion for the future:

aspiring from the experience of all things,
natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.
- Albert Einstein

need for the approval of others, be careful.
If you find yourself unwilling to
take actions that others disapprove of,
you have lost control of your own life
and have given your destiny to others.
An excessive need-for-approval
is a sign of low self-esteem,
and in severe cases, a condition termed co-dependency.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Ecstasy is our very nature;
not to be ecstatic is simply unnecessary.
To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous.

because misery is really hard work;
to maintain it is really difficult,
because you are doing something against nature.
- Osho

Most people consider the course of events as natural and inevitable.
They little know what radical change are possible through prayer.
Every morning I offer my body, my mind and any ability that I posses,
to be used by Thee, O infinite creator,

I know that all work is Thy work, and that no task is too difficult
or too menial when offered to Thee in loving service.

Time to Die:
A Zen teacher had a rare and priceless teacup.
One day, his precocious student accidentally broke the cup.
Hearing the footsteps of his teacher,
the student held the pieces of the cup behind his back.
When the master appeared, he asked: "Why do people have to die?"

in the dirt once or twice.
Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
