Famous Quotes & Sayings

Albert Schweitzer

Constant Kindness can accomplish much.

Deepak Chopra

Karma, memory, and desire are just the software of the soul. It's conditioning that the soul undergoes in order to create experience. And it's a cycle. In most people, the cycle is a conditioned response. They do the same things over and over again.

Deepak Chopra

Karma is experience, and experience creates memory, and memory creates imagination and desire, and desire creates karma again. If I buy a cup of coffee, that's karma. I now have that memory that might give me the potential desire for having cappuccino, and I walk into Starbucks, and there's karma all over again.

Deepak Chopra

Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind... what we sow is what we reap. And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our karma is happiness and success.

Diane von Furstenberg

Do I believe in reincarnation? Well, let's say that I believe in karma. I think you make your own karma.

William Shakespeare

Alexander Smith

Yet through all, we know this tangled skein is in the hands of One, Who sees the end from the beginning: He shall unravel all.

Chogyam Trungpa

The past situation has just occurred and the future situation has not yet manifested itself so there is a gap between the two. This is basically the bardo (life between life) experience. [This is the place where your life is reviewed - where you get another chance to let life teach you and end the cycle of pain. -EM]

Carl Jung

I feel very strongly that I am under the influence of things or questions which were left incomplete and unanswered by my parents and grandparents and more distant ancestors. It often seems as if there were an impersonal karma within a family which is passed on from parents to children. It has always seemed to me that I had to answer questions which fate had posed to my forefathers, and which had not yet been answered, or as if I had to complete, or perhaps continue, things which previous ages had left unfinished.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

Life is a quest and love a quarrel

Charles Kingsley

Make it a rule and pray to God to help you keep it . . . never, if possible, to lie down at night without being able to say "I have made one human being at least a little wiser, a little happier, or a little better this day."

Bob Dylan

And there's no one there to dry your tears. I could hold you for a million years. To make you feel my love.

Ashthon Jones

I love inspirational R&B, like Mary J. Blige and Jennifer Hudson. I want to do that. That kind of music stays with you.

Barbara Pym

How absurd and delicious it is to be in love with somebody younger than yourself. Everybody should try it.

Bayard Rustin

When I say I love Eastland, it sounds preposterous a man who brutalizes people. But you love him or you wouldn't be here. You're going to Mississippi to create social change and you love Eastland in your desire to create conditions which will redeem his children. Loving your enemy is manifest in putting your arms not around the man but around the social situation, to take power from those who misuse it at which point they can become human too.

Albert Einstein

Everyone has two choices. We're either full of love... or full of fear.

Alfred Adler

We only regard those unions as real examples of love and real marriages in which a fixed and unalterable decision has been taken. If men or women contemplate an escape, they do not collect all their powers for the task. In none of the serious and important tasks of life do we arrange such a "getaway." We cannot love and be limited.

Albert Schweitzer

Thought cannot avoid the ethical or reverence and love for all life. It will abandon the old confined systems of ethics and be forced to recognize the ethics that knows no bounds. But on the other hand, those who believe in love for all creation must realize clearly the difficulties involved in the problem of a boundless ethic and must be resolved not to veil from humankind the conflicts which this ethic will involve us, but allow us really to experience them. To think out in every implication the ethic of love for all creation this is the difficult task which confronts our age.

Albert Schweitzer

All the kindness which a man puts out into the world works on the heart and thoughts of mankind.

Albert Schweitzer

Kindness works simply and perseveringly; it produces no strained relations which prejudice its working; strained relations which already exist it relaxes. Mistrust and misunderstanding it puts to flight, and it strengthens itself by calling forth answering kindness. Hence it is the furthest reaching and the most effective of all forces.

Albert Schweitzer

We cannot possibly let ourselves get frozen into regarding everyone we do not know as an absolute stranger.

Barry Switzer

Lovely? Well, thank you. That's kind of nice of you to say.

Japanese Proverbs

One kind word can warm 3 winter months.

S. Walker

We had been doing a lot better but didn't have much to show for it. Getting this win just kind of validated that.

Dusty Baker

When I look at my score sheet and I look at theirs, I'm kind of outmanned. I've never been in that situation in September. It's just one of those years, I guess.
