1 Corinthians 13:4-8 – love is patient

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”

James Allen – mind’s garden

“A man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind. “

Longchen Rabjampa – compassion

“Compassion is the wish-fulfilling jewel, the auspicious jar from which the brilliance of good fortune comes…
It is like the sky, spangled with stars of spotless virtues, always bringing prosperity and bliss.”

William Shakespeare – true

“If we are true to ourselves, we cannot be false to anyone.”

Thomas Dewar – open minds

“Minds are like parachutes. They only function when open.”
