What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.

Thought of the Day
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

Thought of the Day
Endings need not be public, newsworthy events. Throughout your life, there will be many little endings, every day. It is these endings that somehow give shape to the fragments of your life that are called experience. And it is this “experience” that makes up one’s life.

The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

Thought of the Day
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

Thought of the Day
Of all our dreams today there is none more important - or so hard to realise - than that of peace in the world. May we never lose our faith in it or our resolve to do everything that can be done to convert it one day into reality.

Thought of the Day
An individual has not started living fully until they can rise above the narrow confines of individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of humanity. Every person must decide, at some point, whether they will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgement. Life's most persistent and urgent quest is, 'What are you doing for others?'

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call “failure” is not the falling down, but the staying down.
