Know Thyself
-
What is death? A gate to another life. To understand
this is to be fearless.
-
Let me plan nothing. Is not my life in His Hands?
And He has planned what is best for me.
I am not anxious for tomorrow. Each tomorrow
is in His Hands. And He knows best!
-
Let me give to the world the best of which I am capable,
and, the best will return to me!
-
When you have nothing to do, do not let the mind
wander after useless things.
But close your eyes, shut out the world, bring
yourself in
God's presence and offer to him brief prayers.
That is the way of growing beautiful within!
-
When a man passes away his life, his life is usually
summed
up in one sentence - that he was a great man,
a good man
or a sarcastic person or one difficult to deal
with.
What will that sentence be about me ?
-
What is the secret of true beauty?
Simplicity
-
Which is the way to keep ever awake?
This, - to feel as thou dost draw thy breath
that it may be last!
-
The test of character is:-
1.Do you have the courage to stand up for truth
even
though the heavens fall ?
2.Can you smile in trouble ?
3.Can you say "No" when evil tempts ?
-
There is no shame in not knowing, only in
refusing to learn.
-
If one advances confidently in the
direction of his dreams, and endeavors
to live the life which he has imagined,
he
will meet with success unexpected in common
hours.

Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see
a cow, and to love Him as they love their cow - for the
milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is
with people who love God for the sake of outward
wealth or inward comfort. - Meister Eckhart
