His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
H.G. Wells
We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.
Marcel Proust
We don't receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.

Keep your heart open to dreams. For as long as there's a dream, there is hope, and as long as there is hope, there is joy in living.
John Muir
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul.
Tom Robbins
Mockingbirds are the true artists of the bird kingdom. Which is to say, although they're born with a song of their own, an innate riff that happens to be one of the most versatile of all ornithological expressions, mocking birds aren't content to merely play the hand that is dealt them. Like all artists, they are out to rearrange reality. Innovative, willful, daring, not bound by the rules to which others may blindly adhere, the mockingbird collects snatches of birdsong from this tree and that field, appropriates them, places them in new and unexpected contexts, recreates the world from the world. For example, a mockingbird in South Carolina was heard to blend the songs of thirty-two different kinds of birds into a ten-minute performance, a virtuoso display that serve no practical purpose, falling, therefore, into the realm of pure art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The soul is indestructible and its activity will continue through eternity. It is like the sun, which, to our eyes, seems to set at night; but it has in reality only gone to diffuse its light elsewhere.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves,and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Hellen Keller
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope or confidence.

From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being.
James Boswell
We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The holiest of all holidays are those
kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
the secret anniversaries of the heart.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
Thomas Moore, Irish Poet
The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.
Irish Proverb
May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, and tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you, and all that your heart may desire.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.
Henry David Thoreau
All these expanding leaves and flower buds are much more beautiful in the rain, covered with clear drops. They who do not walk in the rain never behold them in their freshest and most radiant beauty.
Marcus Aurelius
Very little is needed to make a happy life - it is all within yourself and in your way of thinking.
Benjamin Mays
The tragedy in life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success.
When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect, but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.
