Fears over tomorrow and regrets over yesterday are twin thieves that rob us of the moment.

The Final Analysis


People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

a poem by Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Great quotes everyone :-)

There was a Gandhi quote I liked but can't seem to find/remember. I stumbled across this one, that I also liked a lot:

"There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for."

Here's my favorite Gandhi quote.....
"Be the change that you want to see in the world"......Mahatma
Gandhi, (1869-1948).

"Be smart, don't fart!"

"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude."


– Denis Waitley

These are some quotes that I like:

“There is no greater fallacy than the belief that aims and purposes are one thing, while methods and tactics are another.” -Emma Goldman

"Flags are bits of colored cloth which governments use first to shrink-wrap people's brains and then later as a burial shroud for the dead."
~ Arundhati Roy

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." - Arundhati Roy

“There can never be peace between nations until there is first known that true peace which is within the souls of men.” – Black Elk

“Wars, conflict--it’s all business. One murder makes a villain; millions, a hero. Numbers sanctify!” – Charlie Chaplin in Monsieur Verdoux

“Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference.” - Charlie Chaplin in Monsieur Verdoux

"If history is to be creative, to anticipate a possible future without denying the past, it should, I believe, emphasize new possibilities by disclosing those hidden episodes of the past when, even if in brief flashes, people showed their ability to resist, to join together, and occasionally win. I am supposing, or perhaps only hoping, that our future may be found in the past's fugitive moments of compassion rather than in its solid centuries of warfare." - Howard Zinn

Arundhti she speaks for me. thankyou Joanne

one that made me smile-

Just before she died, Gertrude Stein asked:
What is the answer? No answer came. She laughed
`and said: "In that case what is the Question?"
then she died.

`one more dont wont to waste space.
`

`Teach us to care and not to care
Teach us to sit still
T.S. Eliot

Unless you know yourself well,
how can you know another?
And when you know yourself --
you are the other.

~ Nisargadatta

~~~

Deepen and broaden your awareness of yourself
and all the blessings will flow.
You need not seek anything,
all will come to you most naturally and effortlessly.

~ Nisargadatta

Brayan, cool quote.

Get rid of the self and act from the self Zen Saying.

Know thyself? If I knew myself, Id run away. Goethe

David Zane Mason,
I LOVE that first quote you posted. Do you know who the author is?

Here's some of my favorite quotes:

"Expectations are nothing more than premeditated resentments."

"Be the change that you want to see in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi

“Life shrinks or expands according to one’s courage” - Anais Nin

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated"

"The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next."
—Matthew Arnold

“I used to wonder why somebody didn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.” - Lily Tomlin

If we can not love the person whom we see, how can we love GOD whom we can not see?

The search is what anyone would under take if he were not sunk in the
everydayness of his own life.
To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something.
Not to be onto something is to be in despair.
Walker Percy

I just recently read this qote and was really moved by it.


"I know of no more comprehensive critique of civilization, this immense effort that has been made over the past ten thousand years to bring the natural world under human control. Such an effort would even tame the wildness of the human itself. It would end by reducing those vast creative possibilities of the human to trivial modes of expression."
Henry David Thoreau

We must endure our thoughts all night , until
The bright obvious stands motionless in the cold.
Wallace Stevens

after all this storm we just had on the forum on our thoughts
this quote seemed related somwhat to me What is here?


A painting by Van Gogh. A pair of rough
peasant shoes, nothing else. But as to what is
in the picture, you are immediately alone with
it as though you yourself were making your
way wearily homeward with your hoe on an
evening in the late fall after the last potato fire
have died down. What is here? The canvas?
The brush strokes? The spots of color?

I like this quote

When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.
The Dalai Lama

Your own self is your ultimate teacher. The outer teacher is merely a milestone. It is only your inner teacher that will walk with you to the goal, for he is the goal.

Nisargadatta

I love the quotes by Nisargatta, very powerful..

I like this quote too.

Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.. James Thurber
