on Achieving World Peace

When there is light in the soul,
there is beauty in the person.
When there is beauty in the person,
there is harmony in the home.
When there is harmony in the home,
there is honor in the nation.
When there is honor in the nation,
there is peace in the world.

- Chinese Proverb

on Kindness

One kind word can warm three winter months.

- Japanese proverb

on Letting Go

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

- Lao Tzu

What is right for you?

What is right for one soul may not be right for another.  It may mean having to stand on your own and do something strange in the eyes of others.  But do not be daunted, do whatever it is because you know within it is right for you.

- Eileen Caddy

on Gratitude

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.  Each of us has cause to think with gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

- Albert Schweitzer
