ABOUT ME

Hi! Blog: http://c-tree.blogstop.com Email: cring3331@yahoo.com

PHILOSOPHY

"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." - Eleanor Roosevelt

"Love ruins lives" - Me

"Life is like stepping onto a boat that is about to sail out to sea and sink." - Shunryu Suzuki

"Natural and super-natural, temporal and eternal - continuums, not absolutes." - Albert Schweitzer

"It is better to practice a little than talk a lot." - Muso Kokushi

"After a heavy snowfall the more rigid branches
of the pine break under the weight of the snow,
but the more supple willow branches bend,
thus allowing the snow to fall to the ground." - Tao: Sacred Symbols

"Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend." - Martin Luther King

"As a bee gathering nectar does not harm or disturb the colour and fragrance of the flower; so do the wise move through the world." - Buddah

"Do not ask the world to change. Change yourself." - Buddah

"I'm so blessed to have spent that time with my family and the friends I love with my short life. I have met so many people I deeply care for." - Red Cave by Yeasayer
