“We must create big we, entire several billion human being we; then, I think the world would be much happier.” Oui?

(uma das minhas pessoas favoritas, num dos meus locais favoritos)

“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.”

“If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.”

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.”

 “If you don’t love yourself, you cannot love others: if you have no compassion for yourself, you cannot have compassion for others.” Isto não tem nada a ver com narcisismo.

“Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.” So, so true…

“The more you are motivated by Love, the more fearless and free your actions will be.”

“Love and Compassion are the true religions to me, but to develop these we do not need to believe in any religion.”

“If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another. If you wish to know that you are safe, cause another to know that they are safe. If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another.”

“In the present circumstances, no one can afford to assume that someone else will solve their problems. Every individual has the responsibility to help guide our global family in the right direction; good wishes are not sufficient, we must become actively engaged.”

“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.”

“To be aware of one single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in someone else.”

“Man sacrifices his health in order to make money; then, he sacrifices money to recuperate his health and then he’s so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present. The result: he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived.”

“Choose to be optimistic, it feels better.”

“The extent to which you suffer depends on how you respond to a given situation.”

“We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and make us kinder. We always have the choice.”

“The mind is like a parachute. It works best when it is open.”

“Open your mind to change, but don’t let go of your values.”

We cannot obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.” (remorços/perdão)

ALOHA to all!
