Life And Living Quotes

“You can get what you want in life. You must reach out with all your heart.”

“A thousand years from now nobody is going to know that you or I ever lived. The cynic is right, but lazy. He says ‘You live, you die and nothing you do will ever make a difference.’ But as long as I live, I’m going to be like Beethoven and shake my fist at fate and try to do something for those who live here now and who knows how far into the future that will go. If I accomplish nothing more than making my arm sore, at least I will be satisfied that I have lived.”

“There is ALWAYS going to be a way out, or in, or around... you need to train your brain to know and to believe that. Because when you do, you're not going to stop until you find that way. Some people think about fate. I'm not like that. I'm not like, "this is my fate." Instead, I say, "this life is my gift and I have my tools with me and there is ALWAYS going to be a way.”

“Beauty is great... But love is greater. With it, you can overcome anything fate throws at you.”

“We are all beautiful instruments of God. He created many notes in music so that we would not be stuck playing the same song. Be music always. Keep changing the keys, tones, pitch, and volume of each of the songs you create along your journey and play on. Nobody will ever reach ultimate perfection in this lifetime, but trying to achieve it is a full-time job. Start now and don't stop. Make your book of life a musical. Never abandon obligations, but have fun leaving behind a colorful legacy. Never allow anybody to be the composer of your own destiny. Take control of your life, and never allow limitations implanted by society, tell you how your music is supposed to sound — or how your book is supposed to be written.”

“May my soul radiate light and love.”

“We all have that divine moment, when our lives are transformed by the knowledge of the truth.”

“Be content with what you have. You have enough to live happy life.”

“Every citizen must pray for its nation.”

“How passionate have on embrace life?”

“Have you ever heard the statement: Being in the world but not of it? This has been mentioned in writings dating back thousands of years and even in the Bible. This is basically saying that we are now human beings in this world. It is okay to accept this form, but we do not need to be only this form with all its behaviors and tendencies. It is possible, through the level of our species’ consciousness, to witness the human development (dilemma) that we have imposed onto the true self.”

“We are a life-form that is manifesting life. This, in itself, is only an object. Nevertheless, our true self is so much more. Furthermore, what manifests in our existence depends on our relationship with the mind and how we now see ourselves.”

“Presence may offer a glimpse into infinity. This is in reference to the endless possibilities provided by acceptance of what is. There is freedom and serenity to be found in the simple act of being what we are. We are life manifesting in the form of a human being.”

“The mind is not all-powerful, and it is possible to shift from mind to conscious awareness. It is a relearning process that each person can undertake. There are unlimited possibilities within the dimension of universal consciousness. You will suddenly experience life from a perspective that is long-lasting, vibrant, and colorful, thereby recognizing that you are the true master and the mind is your faithful servant. The three—mind, object consciousness, and universal consciousness—can thus harmoniously interact and blossom.”

“Here's the thing... what if you want to be desperate and you want to be vulnerable and you want to be needy and cut open, bleeding and raw? What if you want to be all of the things that this society tells us we should never be? Our society tells us that when we are cut open we shouldn't bleed; when we are afraid nobody should know about it; when we are in love we should bury it under rocks. We are born into this world as flesh and blood and soul and then we are taught to despise everything we were born as, in favour of the appearance of strength. What is strength? You're not strong at all, until you are brave enough to be human.”

“I am okay with the imperfection of my own story. We are alive thanks to our imperfect stories and we need to be okay with that. Straight lines have never led the way to colourful pictures. I am okay with all that I feel, with all the pieces of me; and so should you. Every part of my story has the potential to connect with another soul out there, and so does yours.”

“Η ζωή ξεκινάει με ένα παραμύθι, που μιλάει για το κάπου και και το κάποτε, που μαθαίνει στο παιδί να μη φοβάται, γιατί εκείνα που πρόκειται ν΄ακούσει έχουν συμβεί κάπου μακριά. Και όπως το παιδί μεγαλώνει όλο και πλησιάζει στον κόσμο εκείνο του παραμυθιού, με τους λύκους και τους γίγαντες, με τους καλούς και τους κακούς. Και το παιδί μεγαλώνει και το παραμύθι γίνεται μύθος και η ζωή αγώνας.. Μα οι ψυχές και οι μνήμες αναγνωρίζουν μόνο έναν αγώνα, τον αγώνα των ανθρώπων που δεν ξεχνούν κάθε πρωί να μυρίζουν τα αρώματα της ζωής, τις ψυχές, τις καρδιές, τις πράξεις και τις θυσίες εκείνων που έζησαν. Μόνο έτσι οι άνθρωποι γίνονται παιδιά και η ζωή γίνεται ξανά παραμύθι που περιμένει να ειπωθεί.”

“There is no religion better than love, no color better than the color of happiness and no language better than the language of compassion.”

“Harmony doesn’t come merely through tolerance. You don’t need to tolerate people from other cultural backgrounds. It is time you start loving them. Toleration may make you a decent person, but it is love that makes you a true human being.”

“Truth, by all means is the ultimate reward for all the sufferings of the human mind that often compel even the strongest of characters to get down on his or her knees.”

“Any idea of separation is bondage. True liberation of the mind is in non-differentiation.”

“Any idea of separation is bondage. True liberation of the mind is in non-differentiation. And in the pursuit of breaking free from all the shackles of such man-made bondages, science is the most effective tool we have till this date. But in order to bring out all its effectiveness into the human society, it must be sweetened first with the touch of philosophy. Science without Philosophy leads to chaos. Philosophy without Science leads to nowhere. Only together they can construct a better world.”
