LoveEmbracing Tao, you become embraced.Supple, breathing gently, you become reborn.Clearing your vision, you become clear.Nurturing your beloved, you become impartial.Opening your heart, you become accepted.Accepting the World, you embrace Tao.Bearing and nurturing,Creating but not owning,Giving without demanding,Controlling without authority,This is love.

Mahatma Gandhi

Many people make the mistake of thinking that all the challenges in their lives would dissipate if they just had enough money. Nothing could be further from the truth. Earning more money, in and of itself, rarely frees people. It's equally ridiculous to tell yourself that greater financial freedom and mastery of your finances would not offer your greater opportunities to expand, share, and create value for yourself and others.

Anthony Robbins

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

One can never ask anyone to change a feeling.

Susan Sontag

Touch not the flute when drums are sounding around; when fools have the word, the wise will be silent.

Johann Gottfried Von Herder
