“Humans are an EMOTIONAL BEING: Fill all their basic needs, still a-frowning; rain them down with money, still a-yearning. Sans hugs and caring words, all seems nothing!”
“When you see scars from heartaches of past years, yell in your heart—“FROM NOW ON, NO MORE TEARS!” When in your mind a big issue appears, yell in your heart—“FROM NOW ON, NO MORE FEARS!” When your fall was caused by your carelessness, yell out—“FROM NOW ON, NO MORE WEAKNESSES.” When you stand up after lack of success, yell out—“FROM NOW ON, NO MORE EXCUSES!”
“If the true test of cleanness of outlets is the glorious freshness of their toilets, the true test of the nation’s excellence is of poorness and crimes there is absence.”
“Of tunes, I’d listen to the musician than to a plumber or a technician. Of eyes, I’d listen to the optician than to a painter or a beautician. Ah, you may be the Master of the Sea with tons of knowledge, degrees, and glory, but if you would lecture on poverty, I’d rather listen to the poor than thee!”
“You can’t choose the people to surround you, but you can choose the kind of soul in you. You can’t choose the events to befall you, but you can choose the kind of strength in you.”
“Sometimes, you be evil to be angel. Sometimes, you be chicken to be eagle. Sometimes, you be hateful to be loving. Sometimes, you be dying to be living.”
“If you want an absolute peacefulness, don’t you ever look at people’s faces, cover your ears from all kinds of noises, blank your mind from all sorts of images. Feelings are the living colors of life; without them, life can never be a life. Can happiness exist sans the sadness, nor peacefulness sans the disturbances?”
“Life is three: “Breathing, Doing, and Resting.” Needless to say, life begins with BREATHING; to be followed by all types of DOING; then the most unwished-for final RESTING.”
“If all are rich, not one miserable, the whole world will be a playground for all. The bad ones are those who annoy others; the good ones are those who don’t mind others. Since all not rich, many miserable, the whole world is a battlefield for all. The bad ones are those who cause the distress; the good ones are those who help the helpless.”
“Feedback is the test of reality: “Are you great or not?”—feedback helps you see. If you want self-improvement, welcome it; if you’re okay as you are, ignore it.”
“A hundred people live in a small town: “All have right to get rich and wear a crown.” Ten made it and bought all the fertile land: “Ninety were left with small piece of dead land.” That is the system we have everywhere: “One’s success, to many will mean hunger.” Worse, the rich are not viewed as oppressors: “They’re glorified heroes, each one mirrors.”
“If positive, the world is your oyster; if negative, the world is your monster. If positive, the world is a vineyard; if negative, the world is a boneyard.”
“Respect my space, I’ll respect your space, too; respect my right, I’ll respect your right, too; respect my views, I’ll respect your views, too; respect my taste, I’ll respect your taste, too. Respect is the pillar of harmony, the key to world peace and prosperity. We’ve oft been told to give love to others, when simple respect is all that matters.”
“Some prolong life so they can still enjoy. Some prolong life so they can still destroy. Some prolong life so they can still give more. Some prolong life so they can still get more.”
“If you see class even in things lowly, if you see fun even in things dreary, if you see joy even in things gloomy, “Goodness knows you will always be happy!” If you see defects in every beauty, if you see curses in every glory, if you see shortage in every bounty, “Hell knows you will always be unhappy!”
“Of all the treasures I’ve known in the world, like oodles of cash, diamonds, and gold, none can beat the worth of a FAMILY: “So precious, without them life is empty.”
“Life is but TIME, colored in bad and sweet: “The past is ECHO of all bad and sweet; the present is FRUIT of past’s bad and sweet; the future is HOPE that no bad, all sweet.”
