Trouble is a part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough.
-Dinah Shore
When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: Either you will be given something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.
-Edward Teller
Take heed that when effort is too strenuous it leads to strain and when too slack to laziness. So make a firm determination that you will adopt the middle way, not allowing yourself to struggle or to slacken, but recognizing that faith, energy, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom are the fruits of a calm and equable way.
-Theragatha
The answer to the simple question 'What is Life?' has continued to be like the flickering flame of a candle. The flame never looks the same from one instant to the next, but at its core it remains unchanged.
-(adapted from) Rabbi Michael
The family fireside is the best of schools.
-Arnold Glasgow
The bonds that good men share, like good bound books,
Reveal new enjoyments at each new encounter.
The object of friendship is not merrymaking
But a stern rebuking when friends go astray.
It is not constant meeting and companionship
But mutual sensibilities that confer the alliance of friendship.
Friendship is not seen on a friendly face,
But felt deep within a friendly heart.
-Tirukkural
To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world.
-Unknown
You can't compare him who has bread with him who has not.
-Talmud
