Lao Tzu

Simply see that you are at center of the universe,
and accept all things and beings
as parts of your infinite body.
When you perceive that an act done to another
is done to yourself,

you have understood the great truth.

~ Lao Tzu

Buddha

In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.

Mahatma Gandhi

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”

~Mahatma Gandhi

Kahlil Gibran

Remember that love gives nothing but from itself. Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.

And think not that you can direct the course of love. For love, it finds you worthy, will direct your course.
