You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
-Mae West
If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace.
-Jeane Kirkpatrick
If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
He who loves me is made pure; his heart melts in joy. He rises to transcendental consciousness by the rousing of his higher emotional nature. Tears of joy flow from his eyes, his hair stands on end, his heart melts in love. The bliss in that state is so intense that, forgetful of himself and his surroundings, he sometimes weeps profusely, or laughs, or sings, or dances; such a devotee is a purifying influence upon the whole universe.
All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
