Tolerance is the only thing that will enable persons belonging to different religions to live as good neighbours and friends.
Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?
Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, ‘This is a misfortune’ but ‘To bear this worthily is good fortune.’
You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done – but simply because you are.
Remember, you are special because I made you. And I don’t make mistakes.
Love yourself just as you are.
Together, we can make a change in the world. Together we can help to stop racism. Together we can help to stop prejudice. We can help the world live without fear. It is our only hope. And without hope we are lost.
It’s a lie to think you’re not good enough. It’s a lie to think you’re not worth anything.
Have only love in your heart for others. The more you see the good in them, the more you will establish good in yourself.
A good rule in life is to tell yourself simply, ’What comes of itself, let it come.
Having compassion starts and ends with having compassion for all those unwanted parts of ourselves. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.
Let us learn to live with kindness, to love everyone, even when they do not love us.
Our whole spiritual transformation brings us to the point where we realize that in our own being, we are enough.
Remember it’s OK to be yourself.
Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. Welcome and entertain them all!
Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help make the big choices in life. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
No amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by God’s decree. If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way, but if it is yours by destiny, from you it cannot flee.
Life is not what it’s supposed to be. It’s what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.
