Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

Buddha

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow. Our life is the creation of our mind.

Buddha

This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people.

Walt Whitman

Aloneness is a flower blooming in your heart. Aloneness is positive. It is the joy of being yourself. It is the joy of having your own space.

Osho

Life needs both: thorns and roses, days and nights, happiness/unhappiness, birth/death. Be a witness to it all and you will know something that is beyond birth, beyond death; something that is beyond darkness and beyond light; something that is beyond happiness, beyond unhappiness.

Osho

Honesty without kindness, humor, and goodheartedness can be just mean.
