‘Nobody drowns by falling into the water, merely by staying there. Storms no longer need to frighten us when we have got better at handling the ship of our life. And it isn’t the spiritual mountain we have to climb that wears us out, but the pebbles in our shoes. The most difficult one is the earthly personality we have developed in the course of our previous lifetimes.’ Anon.

A birth certificate shows that we were born.
A death certificate shows that we died.
Pictures show that we lived.
But only the footprints in the hearts of those we leave behind
Prove that we conducted our lives true to our real nature,
Which is love.
Many people walk in and out of our lives,
But only true friends leave theirs in our hearts.

‘It takes a long time until we have evolved into the person we would like to be. Take heart that happens to everybody. And when we look back from where we are now, we may be able to recognise that the people who treated us badly were in truth our best teachers, because they showed us how we do not want to be. For that let’s give thanks to the great wisdom of the Universe for placing them in our life.’ Anon.

‘Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it, or because it is spoken and rumoured by many, or because it is found written in your religious books, or because it emanates from your teachers and elders.

When you find after observation and analysis that anything agrees with your reasoning and is conducive to the good and benefit of all, accept it and conduct your life by it.’ The Buddha

For nowhere is there more quiet or freedom from trouble than when human beings retreat into their own souls.’
