Worn-out garments are shed by the body; worn-out bodies are shed by the dweller within the body.... ~The Bhagavad Gita
"Enter into the sphere where there is no fear of death nor hope of the afterlife, where thou art free of the impediments of life or the needs of salvation. Thou art thyself the Tao. Be thou, now, a rock against which the waves of life rush in vain . . ."
~James Clavell, The Shogun
“We are told from childhood onward that everything we want to do is impossible. We grow up with this idea, and as the years accumulate, so too do the layers of prejudice, fear and guilt. There comes a time when our personal calling is so deeply buried in our soul as to be invisible. But it’s still there...” ~Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
~Mohandas Gandhi
Of course things aren't easy. If they were easy, that would mean that you'd given up the struggle.
~Ejike Asomugha
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us: it's in everyone. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
~Nelson Mandela
In the space of seven years I have succeeded in accomplishing a great work and uniting the whole world in one Empire.
~Genghis Khan
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
~Albert Einstein
"The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit."
~Banksy"
