ÔÇ£Our enemy is not other people. Our enemy is hatred, violence,discrimination & fear.ÔÇØ
Thich Nhat Hanh
ÔÇ£Whether you believe in god or not does not matter so much, whether you believe in buddha or not does not matter so much; as a Buddhist , whether you believe in reincarnation or not does not matter so much. You must lead a good life. And a good life does not mean good food, good clothes, good shelter. These are not sufficient. A good motivation is what is needed; compassion, without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers & sisters & respecting their rights & human dignity.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I'm saying.ÔÇØ
Oscar Wilde
ÔÇ£Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.ÔÇØ

Narcotics Anonymous
ÔÇ£I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.ÔÇØ

Heinrich Heine
ÔÇ£Many civilisations have died because mankind was not wise enough. And the same thing will be true for ours. If we continue to consume like this,if we don't care enough about protecting our wonderful planet, we will allow it to be burned wth global warming. Maybe seventy percent of mankind will die. The ecosystem will be destroyed to a very large extent, & we will need millions of years to start a new civilisation.ÔÇØ
