Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem Quotes

“Kedykoľvek by si šiel spochybňovať svoju vlastnú hodnotu, spomeň si na lotosový kvet. Aj keď sa vynára do života spopod bahna, nedovolí nánosom, ktoré ho obklopujú, aby ovplyvnili jeho rast alebo krásu.”

“To be successful, one has to be one of three bees - the queen bee, the hardest working bee, or the bee that does not fit in. One success is inherited, and the the next one is earned. While the last one is self-sought, self-served, and happens on its own terms.”

“We cannot control the way people interpret our ideas or thoughts, but we can control the words and tones we choose to convey them. Peace is built on understanding, and wars are built on misunderstandings. Never underestimate the power of a single word, and never recklessly throw around words. One wrong word, or misinterpreted word, can change the meaning of an entire sentence and start a war. And one right word, or one kind word, can grant you the heavens and open doors.”

“Uno Sino Muchos Uno Creador, muchas caras. Una familia, muchas razas. Una verdad, muchos caminos. Un corazón, muchos coloridos. Una luz, muchas reflexiones. Un mundo, muchas imperfecciones. Uno. Todos somos uno, sino muchos.”

“THE SCRIBE Under the wings Of the feathered Goddess And in the middle Of the three dancing women, The scribe comes alive To reveal mysteries hidden Through divine gifts given The scribe is driven On his mission To wake up All the universe's Men, women and Heavenly children. Under the seven rays of Aten, And from the age of just ten, The scribe comes alive With the ink Of his luminous pen. Below the spectacle of the moon, And in the smile of the sun, The scribe is here to show us How we are all one. THE SCRIBE by Suzy Kassem”

“Treat your relationship as if you are growing the most beautiful sacred flower. Keep watering it, tend to the roots, and always make sure the petals are full of color and are never curling. Once you neglect your plant, it will die, as will your relationship.”

“STAY AN ORIGINAL WORK OF ART In this short lifetime, Why not be -- True to your own voice, Your own story, Your own truths, Your own style, Beat and drum -- Instead of reflect the words, Songs and march of another? Why not use your soul's own Unique language, Instead of constantly try to toot something Not true, suitable or intended For your own instrument, Painting, Song, Or story? Why create an image you cannot produce? And if you can create a brilliant mask, How long will you really be able to hide your true soul Behind it Until its colors and plastic Begin to fade and melt with Time? Do not speak about truth when there is no truth in you. Do not speak about being yourself when you are trying hard to be someone else. Do not keep crying about your pain when you you have no shame creating pain in others. Do not step on truth, or someone else's truth, or someone who fights for truth -- And think there will be no repercussions; For there is more danger in silence, And for every action there will always be a reaction Of opposite or equal measure. Treasure integrity, Treasure your own story and truths. How will people remember you when you want to be an imitation? How will people remember your voice when you want to sound like another? Be so different that everybody will remember you. Be yourself because an original is worth more than a copy. Be true to yourself or your heart will never forgive you; For once you silence the music from your own instrument, Your true purpose and intended path will begin to fade. There is no greater crime Than ignoring your conscience And the truths intended For you to live, learn, And share. So Stay TRUE to YOU In everything You do. That itself is the purest And truest Art. Suzy Kassem, "Stay An Original Work of Art" Copyright 1993, The Spring For Wisdom”

“You were born a winner, a warrior, one who defied the odds by surviving the most gruesome battle of them all - the race to the egg. And now that you are a giant, why do you even doubt victory against smaller numbers and wider margins? The only walls that exist are those you have placed in your mind. And whatever obstacles you conceive, exist only because you have forgotten what you have already achieved.”

“Before you were born, and were still too tiny for the human eye to see, you won the race for life from among 250 million competitors. And yet, how fast you have forgotten your strength, when your very existence is proof of your greatness.”

“Siempre que dudes de ti misma, acuérdate de la flor de loto. A pesar que se sumerge a la vida debajo del lodo, no permite que la suciedad que la rodea afecte su crecimiento o belleza. Tienes que ser cómo la flor de loto. No permitas que cualquier negatividad o la fealdad en tu entorno destruya tu confidencia, que afecte tu crecimiento o que te haga dudar de ti misma.”

“Las sabias palabras son como semillas, cuanto más las esparces, más crecerán y se convertirán en jardines de infinito de conocimiento.”

“If you hold a candle close to you, its flame rises. And if you hold it away from you, its flame shrinks. The same way you hold a candle close to you, keep all your plans, aspirations, projects, and dreams close to you too. Do not share your plans or goals until you complete them, because as you hold your candle away from you — envy, jealousy, and resentment may put out your flame before it grows.”

“Una sociedad democrática verdadera debe servir a su pueblo, no a grandes empresas, al bienestar de sus ciudadanos, no a los bolsillos corporativos. Pero cuando tienes corporaciones que compran los asientos de nuestros líderes políticos, a quién piensan que van a servir?”

“Um verdadeiro homem de bem vai falar a verdade, agir com a verdade e defender a verdade. Um verdadeiro homem de bem não tem medo de pensar a partir de seu coração; portanto, permitindo que não-conformistas decisões, pontos de vista e perspectivas para conduzir sua vida. Ao seguir o seu coração, eles estão com a sua consciência, e só com Deus.”

“Nëpër rrugët e shpirtit Njehere ti me the se deshiroje te gjeje veten tek bota , dhe une te thashe , se pari zbulo boten brenda vetes. Njehere ti me the se deshiroje te shpetoje boten nga çdo lufte . Dhe une te thashe se pari shpeto veten nga bota dhe nga çdo lufte tenden qe ti perjeton. Suzy Kassem”

“Не стоит верить переводу, если не веришь переводчику, осуществившему его.”

“THE THREE BEES by Suzy Kassem A young boy once asked A wealthy beekeeper: “What is the secret of Your success?” The beekeeper simply smiled And replied: “To be successful, One has to be one of three bees: The queen bee, The hardest working bee, Or the bee that does not fit in. One success is inherited, And the next one is earned. While the last one is Self-sought, Self-served, And happens on its own Terms.” “And which bee are you?” Asked the boy. The beekeeper then wiped The sweat from his head And said: “The last may seem the riskiest, But the glory of achievement Is the most rewarding. Freedom always comes at a high cost, But only when you are Your own boss, Can you truly Afford it.” (Suzy Kassem Poetry)”
