If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
What difference does it make, whether you live in a big city or in a community of homes? The real life is within.
To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
Life without freedom is like a body without a soul, and freedom without thought is like a confused spirit…
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
