PHILOSOPHY

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.

If you expect no more than you've received. You'll never be disappointed. ~AR

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent humans and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the earth a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because your have lived. This is to have succeeded. "

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods
There is a rapture on the lonely shore
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar
I love not man the less, but nature more.

Emotions make wonderful servants, but terrible masters.

If you can be absolutely comfortable with not knowing who you are, then what's left is who you are.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So sail away from safe harbor. Explore. Dream. Discover

You cannot change or heal what you do not acknowledge.

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice.

"The problem with society is they tend to focus on what gives them pleasure. Pleasure is anything that gives you instant gratification. If society spent more time focusing on what gives them joy (an experience that gives you lasting happiness), we would all be better off."

" I think it's great how you used to be great, I can't hate how you choose to relate , But I know you had the potential , I understand why you wanted to let go , A lot of pressure in the middle of those shoulders , And we ain't gettin nothing but older , Ain't nothing change but the day we run from , But nobody knows that better than you, huh."

"The race is Long. And in the end, its only with yourself."

" People spend so much time, every single day, runnin' 'round all over town, givin' their forever away. but no not me, I won't let my forever roam, and now I hope I can find, my forever a home."

Nothing is here to stay. Everything has to begin and end. A ship in a bottle won't sail

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.

Even After All This Time, The Sun, Never Says to the Earth. You owe ME. Just think what a love like that can do.

To believe that you need what you don't have, is the definition of insanity.

There is no war within us, only the blindness to our states and conditions.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

The only Zen you find on the tops of Mountains, is the Zen you bring up there.

If you want a better life, think better thoughts.

''To develop patience, you need someone who willfully hurts you. Such people give us real opportunities to practice tolerance. They test our inner strength in a way that even our guru cannot.''

- Dalai Lama

''Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.''

- Buddha

''I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ.''

- Gandhi
