The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
– Laozi
Confucius – transformation
“Whoever knows essentially his own nature, can know also that of other men and can penetrate into the nature of beings. He can collaborate in the transformation and the progress of heaven and earth.”
Leo Tolstoy – happiness
“Happiness consists of living each day as if it were the first day of your honeymoon and the last day of your vacation.”
Dalai Lama – a precious human life
“Every day, think as you wake up. Today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive, I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others. I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others, as much as I can.”
Marcus Aurelius – power
“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
Dhammapada – conquer himself
“Though one man may conquer in battle a thousand men a thousand times over, it is he who conquers himself that is the greatest of conquerors.”
