Se tiri troppo la corda di una chitarra la romperai, ma se la lasci troppo allentata non suonerà. Imparare è Cambiare. La strada dell’Illuminazione sta nella via di Mezzo. È la linea che sta tra tutti gli opposti estremi.

Migliaia di candele possono venire accese da una singola candela, e la vita della candela non sarà abbreviata. La felicità non diminuisce mai con l’essere condivisa

Nella mente ha origine la sofferenza; nella mente ha origine la cessazione della sofferenza.

Il cambiamento non è mai doloroso. Solo la resistenza al cambiamento lo è.

Non c’è niente di costante tranne il cambiamento.

Il profumo dei fiori non va contro vento, non quello del sandalo, del tagara e del gelsomino; il profumo dei buoni va contro vento: un uomo retto pervade tutte le regioni.

Prima di parlare domandati se ciò che dirai corrisponde a verità, se non provoca male a qualcuno, se è utile, ed infine se vale la pena turbare il silenzio per ciò che vuoi dire.

Noi siamo ciò che pensiamo. Tutto quello che siamo sorge dai nostri pensieri. I nostri pensieri costruiscono il mondo.

Realizzare la propria salvezza è compito immediato di ogni uomo. Vi sarà tempo per una comprensione sempre maggiore dell’Insegnamento percorrendo la Via. Intanto, si inizi ad affrontare la vita, quale è, imparando sempre dall’esperienza diretta e personale.

Il primo fatto dell’esistenza è la legge del cambiamento o impermanenza. La vita è un continuo fluire, e colui che si aggrappa a qualsiasi forma, per quanto splendida, soffrirà resistendo alla corrente.

Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.

Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all is a form of planning.

Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.

The conclusion of design flows naturally from the data we should not shrink from it we should embrace it and build on it.

Gossip is the opiate of the oppressed.

Evolution is what it is. The upper classes have always died out; it's one of the most charming things about them.

Congress needs strong parties, but it also needs the capacity to deal with budget and entitlement challenges that are likely beyond the reach of pure partisan exertion.

Keep the focus of your life in the here and now.

I have a film called 'A Lonely Place For Dying,' which is the most watched film on the Internet, over 3 million hits, more than any of Hollywood's films.

By the time I went to college, I knew the major passages of the Bible pretty much by heart.

I think it was a possibility, I think we're all kind of delusional like that, we think that we can all carry on being who we are without bending ourselves to make ourselves acceptable and expect someone to come along and see to us and rescue to us.

She said 'I'm by commission. You don't have to pay anything until you sell anything.' I said, 'Well fine. You want to be my agent and not make anything.' I thought, 'Boy, is she dumb.'

Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.

Focus on what you have.

What I'm really looking to do is retire undefeated; I'm not sure when the right time to retire will be, but I know that I'm not done yet. Something still feels unfinished, and that's why I'm going to keep going.

I didn't learn stories, I just absorbed them.

Don't underestimate the power of your vision to change the world. Whether that world is your office, your community, an industry or a global movement, you need to have a core belief that what you contribute can fundamentally change the paradigm or way of thinking about problems.

I can clearly trace my passion for reading back to the Jonesboro, Georgia, library, where, for the first time in my life, I had access to what seemed like an unlimited supply of books.

In my district back in Texas, significant because we have a big solar panel production plant in Keller, Texas, we have a wind turbine plant in Gainesville, Texas, up in Cook Country.

Of course, it's wonderful to film any period piece - but especially 'Foyle's War' because the art direction is so imaginative and yet at the same time so real. You can open a drawer on set, and even though the camera never sees what's inside, it'll be filled with genuine 1940s documents.

When an audience comes to one of my concerts, I hope they'll see themselves, somewhere, in one of the songs.

Internationalism, illustrated by the Bolshevik and by the men to whom all countries are alike provided they can make money out of them, is to me repulsive.
