A Few Wise Lessons!!!!!

1. "A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself. I learned you have to trust yourself, be what you are, and do what you ought to do the way you should do it. You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it". 
2. "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look once in awhile, you could miss it."
3. "Mighty waters draw much stone and rubble along with them; mighty spirits many stupid and bewildered heads"
4. "A Good Friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world"
5. "Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice. If he abdicates his power, he abdicates the status of man, and the grinding chaos of the irrational is what he achieves as his sphere of existence - by his own choice".
6. "Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding"
7. "A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security."
8. "Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us".
9. You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
10. By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.
