Quote by Osho

“Needs are very few and a man who understands what is needful will always be happy and blissful. Desires are many, needs are few. Needs can be fulfilled; desires, never. A desire is a need gone crazy. It is impossible to fulfill it. The more you try to fulfill it, the more it goes on asking, asking, asking.”

“The old revolutionary chant "Power to the People," usually accompanied by a raised clenched fist, has gone out of fashion. The failure of the socialist model has become too evident. The phrase probably came from the battle cry of the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution when the slogan was "Power to the Soviets." In America in the 1960s the Soviet slogan was corrupted into what some called "participatory democracy," and people like "Tom Hayden of Students for a Democratic Society were calling for a transfer of power to the 'people,' whom they were able to identify as themselves." Later on, the "Power to the People" slogan was adopted by Bobby Seale as the chant of the Black Panthers. Needless to say, the last thing many of these people had in mind was actually giving all of the people a real voice in their government. But that is what is happening now.”

“GODMAN QUOTES 2 ***Fear of the worse*** In continuous impression we find progress at the positive side. To a close door be the handle that knows a valuable guest. Effort made to conquer the worse builds your worth. If you fear the worse you are taken by the force. Failure is when you have accepted defeat that has accepted to happen. It’s an extraordinary thing when you believe in the impossible. The space you create between us keeps us farther apart. In your best interest don’t be interested in things that don’t interest you. Ahead of time we meet up with time to make our day great. It’s a sign of negligence to ignore the best impression.”

“And maybe this whole thing has taught me something else about what kindness is for. Because, looking back at this year, I still basically did fail when I tried to protect everybody. But that doesn't mean my efforts didn't matter. Maybe kindness spreads slowly, and even fails for a while, but then sort of seeps through again and keeps moving outward, until you suddenly find yourself surrounded by a ring of fellow hamster owners who used to be your enemies.”
