Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?

If you are driven by fear, anger or pride nature will force you to compete. If you are guided by courage, awareness, tranquility and peace nature will serve you.

Be the kind of person who dares to face life's challenges and overcome them rather than dodging them.

Forgiving doesn't make the person who hurt you feel better, it makes you feel better.

How wonderful it would be if people did all they could for one other without seeking anything in return!

One should never remember a kindness done, and never forget a kindness received.

Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.

The formula of life is simple. It is the formula of giving - giving courage, attention, peace, love and comfort to yourself and the society.

Good people see the good and bring out the best in other people.

Accept responsibility for your life.

Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

Do not dwell upon the sins and mistakes of yesterday so exclusively as to have no energy and mind left for living rightly today, and do not think that the sins of yesterday can prevent you from living purely today.

A happy man is too satisfied with the  present to dwell too much on the future.

Everybody in the world is seeking happiness, and there is one sure way to find it.

That is by controlling your thoughts.

Happiness doesn't depend on outward conditions.

It depends on inner conditions.

Let the improvement of yourself keep you so busy that you have no time to criticize others.

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.

You can’t make someone feel good about themselves until you feel good about yourself.

The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people spend it for you.

Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people.

Don’t be intimidated by other people’s opinions. Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks and do what you really want to do.

Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
