Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.
Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that’s good.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
The greatest science in the world; in heaven and on earth; is love.
Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
If it’s still in your mind, it is still in your heart.
Sadness does not last forever when we walk in the direction of that which we always desired.
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted are the most terrible poverty.
Never believe anyone who tells you that you don't deserve what you want.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I do not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
Whatever you fear most has no power. It is your fear that has the power.
Love is not a relationship, love is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not “in love”, one is love. And of course when one is love, one is in love – but that is an outcome, a by-product, that is not the source. The source is that one is love.
Compassion is the wish to see others free from suffering.
A letdown is worth a few songs. A heartbreak is worth a few albums.
All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore love for love’s sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live.
If you do not want to be unhappy, no one else can make you unhappy.
When you see your happiness in the happiness of others, that’s when you will be truly happy.
Nothing stays forever. Good as well as bad times go away. Be happy.
Any fool can be unhappy when things are not okay. But it takes courage to be happy even when things are falling apart.
A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.
