It's not the broken dreams that break us, it's the ones we didn't dare to dream.

More necessary than the truth is the requirement of truth.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

To be wise, make your own mistake.

Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.

Your failures don't define you. Your response to them does.

Time ripens all things.

What is history, but a fable agreed upon? By its very nature, history is always a one-sided account.

Judge a man's civility not by his compassion for his friends, but by his compassion for his enemies.

Never make friends with an elephant keeper if you don't have room to entertain his elephant.

It's very easy to pollute a river but not at all easy to unpollute it.

My mind is a sanctuary for my dreams.

If you believe in past lives, then it can be said that you believe that everyone who exists today in this world has had a past life. But then this means that the number of people alive today should be equal to the number of people who were alive yesterday. And that is impossible. The population is always increasing, never decreasing. So we can never say that each life has had a past life. The birth rate is much faster than the death rate globally.

You should learn to be happy if not wholly content with what you have and what you've been given in your life. You should not be so blindly in pursuit of what you don't have that you start to put in jeopardy all that you do have.

For people who believe strongly in the illusiveness of life, to doubt would be more correct than to bear full conviction about anything at all. But then again that questions their primary belief in illusions. - Aditi A world without faith in a higher power or a god is a better world where we can be responsible for our own actions; where we can be kind to one another because we want to and because it is the right thing to do instead of being frightened into behaving by the threat of divine punishment. Many events may have defied your ability to explain, events that seem like miracles, but if you are convinced that you failed to understand them because you're still woefully ignorant about the universe and the learning will never stop, then, you cannot and will not believe that a deity altered the workings of nature.

Swedish Pineapple

Blotched are my scars of the night. I am broken beyond repair, Nobody asked you to come fix me. You couldn't even if you tried is one thing, I'd rather you not is another. Untimely is this occasion. Blasphemous is this situation.   I am where I am You're where you are; And you're where you are Twisted and devious Jumbled and knotted You are All that you are I am All that I am Look now, there your carriage goes Without you Run after it lest you miss it Why should I, you question, When it won't stop for me?
