"Wisdom" 5/03
"You may not
know the subtle progress that you are making. Therefore, do not stop."Amma
Forgiveness is the strongest weapon...tn
Better than a thousand useless words is one single word that gives peace. Buddha
Who can trace the invisible path of the man who soars in the sky of liberation, the infinite Void without beginning, whose passions are peace, and over whom pleasures have no power? His path is as difficult to trace as that of the birds in the air. Buddha
Be not the slave of your own past-plunge into sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience, that shall explain and overlook the old. Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a man should conquer in battle a thousand and a thousand more, and another man should conquer himself, his would be the greater victory, because the greatest of victories is the victory over oneself; and neither the gods in heaven above nor the demons down below can turn into defeat the victory of such a man. Buddha
"Excellence is the result of caring more than others think is wise, risking more than others think is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical, and expecting more than others think is possible."John Maxwell
It is better to get your hands
dirty and eat, then to be to proud to work and starve. Hard work means prosperity
only a fool idles away his time. (proverbs)
" There's so
much to learn, so much to learn it's not even funny, and wasting time is not
going to do it."
Gary Chester
"Integrity is one of several paths. It distinguishes
itself from the others because it is the right path and the only one upon
which you will never get lost." M.H. McKee
"The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what
direction we are moving."- Oliver Wendell Holmes
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9
"We must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means."- Martin Luther King, Jr.
How you spend your money , is apart of who and what you are supporting in our world. T. Natale.
"You may not know the subtle progress that you are making. Therefore, do not stop."Amma
"Wisdom is a funny thing it keeps repeating itself"....T. Natale
"Feed the poor and starve the war".... T Natale
