Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny.
- Upanishads
Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,
but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain,
but for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved,
but hope for the patience to win my freedom.
- Rabindranath Tagore, Indian Poet/Saint
Om Bhur Bhuva Swaha,
Tat Savitur Varenyam,
Bhargo devasya Dhimahi,
D'Yo Yona Prachodhyat.
Earth, Mid-heaven, Heaven!
Let us meditate on that most
Excellent light of Divine sun,
That it may illuminate our minds.
Gayatri mantra
First of all the twinkling stars vibrated,
but remained motionless in space,
then all the celestial globes were united into one series of movements.
... Firmament and planets both disappeared,
but the mighty breath which gives life to all things and in which all is bound up remained.
- Vincent Van Gogh
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
- Rumi
there's a list...!!!
