Sometimes reading the words of men like Ghandi can provide guidance in a storm-tossed world. Here are some quotes that I either like a lot or feel are totally appropriate for 2004.
Ghandi
------
"I would heartily welcome the union of East and West provided it is not based on brute force."
"What is true of the individual will be to-morrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope."
"An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching."
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
Daili Lama
----------
"We need a little more compassion, and if we cannot have it then no politician or even a magician can save the planet"
"Everybody loves to talk about calmness and peace, whether in a family, national, or international context, but without inner peace how can we make real peace? World peace through hatred and force is impossible."
"Ignorance is the source of hatred, and the way to get rid of ignorance is realization."
"When you encounter some problems, if you point your finger at yourself and not at others, this gives you control over yourself and calmness in a situation, where otherwise self-control becomes problematic."
Mother Teresa
-------------
"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one"
"Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family"
"We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing."
Louisa May Alcott
-----------------
"Love is the only thing that we can carry with us when we go, and it makes the end so easy."
There are many more here:
