“Number six: Zach never tailgates, ever, no matter how slowly the car in front of him is going. Because the driver in front of you could be anyone--an organ donor, a war hero, a man who's just lost his best friend, a kid with a new license doing her best, said Cornelia. Not tailgating acknowledges the mystery and humanity of strangers. It's one of those small habits that speaks volumes.”

“The difference between selfish people and generous people is like the difference between day and night. While selfish people think about getting everything for themselves, take things for granted, and harm others by their greediness and non stop desires, generous people are the ones who keep this life going, they are generous with their time, money, health, knowledge, skills, and emotions, they are the sun that keeps life warm and thriving. Try to be one of the generous; and remember no one ever likes a selfish person.”

“Generous people aren't selfless. Their kind hearts know how to balance between giving and taking. They know that they can't take without giving and without giving back. A generous soul can see the whole picture, the more significant aspects of life, and the true nature of being a human. Generosity is an action loved by God and people.”

“Economy means to consume less than you have. Your states, in exchange, call economic prosperity the increase of consume and decrease of production. This consumption increase presented to you proudly during the election campaigns are due to the refinancing of loans, which are, actually, re-loans. In other words, the leadership of your state spends what it does not hold, so that you, the people, are forced to give back something that you never benefited of, and you pay for money that you never spent.”

“I have friends, from all walks of life from around the world, some of them are believers, some non-believers, some nondualists, and so on. Their belief or disbelief in a supernatural higher force or entity doesn't bother me the least, as long as they do not look down on people holding different belief systems. In a civilized, humane and inclusive world, a person's behavior with others is most important, not belief.”
