Expect nothing and you will never be disasppointed.
Breathe deep... The rain falls but a moment, and in a moment, gives life to another day.
If we are going to preserve the viability of life on this planet, we must strive to understand the connections, the interrelatedness of all things.
We have listened to the voices of hate, the voices of selfish unreason for far too long. Only the voices of peace will lead us where we need to be.
Our science and technology are advancing rapidly, but our ability to understand the interconnected ramifications of the application of the technology is not keeping pace. Wisdom is required. We must become aware of the consequences for any alterations we humans might make to the natural world.
Love doesn’t make bullets. It doesn’t drop bombs. Only hate does that – driven by fear.
Those of us who oppose hateful bigotry must not be silent when it rears its ugly head. When the tolerant tolerate the intolerant they risk losing the very freedoms they are trying to protect. Bigotry should never be allowed to become acceptable and commonplace in a healthy society.
Every being has its own important and unique place in the cosmic dance.
Freedom is an idea that no tyrant will ever crush.
Despite what we humans may or may not do, the Earth will endure, going on as it always has, forever at home with the revolution of sun and moon and wayward, inconstant star.
The best gift you can give anyone is to spend quality time with them.
It’s no use trying to reasonably argue with unreasonable people. Better to spend your time in more productive pursuits.
Despite the pressing insistence of the ordinary and the mundane, we must make the best time of the time we have before the tick tick ticking ends.
By dedicating ourselves to peace, understanding, kindness and compassion, we do our part to heal the world.
Life is much more than the evanescent present. We should do all we can to preserve our antiquities, lest we forget who we are.
Animals are forever true to their God-given natures, communicating well enough with canny precision in languages we are perhaps too arrogant to understand.
While we cannot close our eyes to what is happening around us, it is important for each of us as individuals to refuse to hate another human being and commit to compassion, love, peace and nonviolence in the world. In becoming aware and resistant to evil, we should be wary of becoming part of the evil ourselves.
Greed is the knife that stabs deep in the backs of one’s fellows. Self-interested profit for the few too often reaps untold suffering for the many. The community of humankind is laid low in shame. The harmonic balance of the Earth is disrupted.
As we commit to peace in our own lives, our own little worlds, encompassing everyone we know personally, then we will find the way of peace spreading like a great healing light all over the world.
No matter what path you’re on in this life, if that path isn’t about love, you’re on the wrong path.
