To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest
critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate
beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social
condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you
have lived. This is to have succeeded.                                                

- Ralph Waldo Emerson


This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given
this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it
for good. What you do today is important because you are
exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes,
this day will be gone forever; in its place is something
that you have left behind, let it be something good.

Your work is to discover your world and then with
all your heart give yourself to it                                                         

- Buddha


Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows
into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom
for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for
me. To see reality, not as we expect it to be but as it
is, is to see that unless we live for each other and in
and through each other, we do not really live very
satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where
there really is, in just this sense, love.
