“Don’t wish too much that all days be sunny, lest we doom ourselves with no days rainy. Don’t focus too much our minds on money, lest we miss each day’s far greater glory. Don’t dwell too much on our pains and heartaches, lest we lose the beauty of a remake. Don’t give too much of ourselves to loved ones, lest we forget ourselves—leave them at once.”
“When we curse the world for being wicked, after our cursing, it is yet wicked. Why not just seek to change it than curse it: “Shine our good light that the world may be lit.”
“From one parentage we become many, so many we lose the affinity, treating each other like the enemy, forgetting we’re all from one family. We’re all brothers and sisters from “One Source”; let’s all be one in carrying the cross. Let no race, language, and passport part us; it’s easy if our minds we clean and wash.”
“When a rich man works, it’s to make time sweet; when a poor man works, it’s to make ends meet. When a rich man eats, it’s for indulging; when a poor man eats, it’s for surviving. When a rich man prays, it’s for longer life; when a poor man prays, it’s for better life. When a rich man dies, it’s an end to cheers; when a poor man dies, it’s an end to tears.”
“Why those who live just nearby late to work? Simple: “Say, ten minutes from house to work, they’ll leave ten minutes before start of work. A little traffic and they’re late for work!”
“Earth’s full of life—oh so good, oh so right! All things made are simply epic delight. If heaven up there is way much better, I wonder none seems in haste to get there. But though how good is earth, life may be not; though how brightly the sun shines, mind is not. When all reasons to hang on have been lost, not a few have sought giving up the ghost!”
“The most precious thing you can give someone is your time, Chika, because you can never get it back. When you don t think about getting it back, you ve given it in love.”
“Because your consciousness is in the now, the days seem long, but the years fly by!”
“A good life comes from our acts of giving: “The more we give, the more we are getting.” A good world comes from our acts of sharing: “The more we share, the better it’s forming.”
“The WORST SIN in the world like no other is “lack of concern for one another.” It’s the root of all greed and corruption, the source of all crimes and destitution. Don’t ever think that one day there yonder, we’ll wake up to a bright New World Order. For as long as “SELF” is placed at center, the world’s to even get worse, not better!”
“If all been satisfied of their hunger, no one minds if some are wolfish eater. What people mind is when some start grabbing, leaving a great many others starving! If all been satisfied of their needs, nobody minds if some get rich through greed. What people mind is when few start seizing, leaving so many with almost nothing!”
“You want to be loveable?—Seek to love: “Love does freely come to those who give love.” Want to be respectable?—Give respect: “Respect comes back to those who give respect.”
“Life’s too short you still wonder what the hell on things dark and negative we yet dwell. Why not just mind the goodness all around that even in heaven may not be found. Life’s too short you still wonder what the hell we yet give way for hatred and quarrel. Why not just love and care for each other, that all may live happily thereafter.”
“For each defect in the people you see, look within you if you have it in ye. If you find it too, it’s not a defect; charge it all to our not being perfect.”
“When you criticize, check you have the right: First: You see person’s both sides—dark and bright. Second: Aim’s not to harm, but rectify. Third: Say it in front, so they can reply.”
“A rich man who is feeling so happy knowing he has overflowing money, is same with a beggar who’s so happy knowing he can always win some mercy.”
“When you speak of Life, it’s not you talking: “It is God and his words you are mouthing.” All angels in heaven are around you, praising all the words you say that renew. When you speak of Doom, it’s not you talking: “It is fiend and his words you are spilling.” All the devils in hell are around you, egging you on to ever continue.”
