Elegantly Enlightening

Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity ... [Buddha]

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort ...

It's all knowing what to start with. If you start in the right place and follow all the steps, you will get to the right end ...

Miracles: You do not have to look for them. They are there, 24-7, beaming like radio waves all around you. Put up the antenna, turn up the volume - snap... crackle... this just in, every person you talk to is a chance to change the world ...

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps ...

Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence ...

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him ... [Buddha]

Do not follow where the path leads, rather go where there is no path and leave a trail ...

Life loves the liver of it ...

It matters not what you are thought to be, but what you are ...

How little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtue ...
