Love is a trap. When it appears, we see only its light, not its shadows.
All women have a perception much more developed than men. So all women somehow, being repressed for so many millennia, they ended up by developing this sixth sense and contemplation and love. And this is something that we have a hard time to accept as part of our society.
People are very reluctant to talk about their private lives but then you go to the internet and they're much more open.
The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people's opinions.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone's eyes.
One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
An encounter with the superior energy is open to anyone but remains far from those who shift responsibility onto others.
May love be your guide in every moment of your life.
Every human being should know two languages: the language of society and the language of signs. One serves to communicate with other people, the other serves to understand God's messages.
If you want to see a rainbow you have to learn to see the rain.
Whenever someone dies, a part of the universe dies too. Everything a person felt, experience and saw dies with them, like tears in the rain.
