Quotes and Thoughts

If you want to see the brave, look at those who can forgive.
If you want to see the heroic, look at those who can love in
return for hatred.

Bhagavad Gita


What does truth look like? I can tell you.
Next time you your face in the mirror, look closely.
Don't look for defects; look for truth.
And when you see that person in the mirror, that's what truth looks like - You.
Here lies truth -- in you.

-- Prem Rawat


You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding.
You are peace and joy and light.
You are forgiveness and patience, strength and courage, a helper in time of need,
a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion.
You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth;
The greatest peace and the grandest love. You are these things.
And in moments of your life, you have known yourself as these things.
Choose now to know yourself as these things always.

-- Neale Donald Walsch


Surrender means accepting this moment, this body and this life with open arms.
Surrender involves getting out of your own way and living in accord with a higher will,
expressed as the wisdom of the heart.
Far more than passive acceptance, surrender uses every challenge as a means of
spiritual growth and expanded awareness.

-- Dan Millman
