Quotations

 
Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.


"Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others."


“People are zealous for a cause when they are not quite positive that it is true”

"If you have much, give of your wealth; if you have little, give of your heart."



“Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping him up.”


If malice or envy were tangible and had a shape, it would be the shape of a boomerang.


The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.

Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.

Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own.

Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value.  Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you.  There is only one alternative - self-value.  If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved.  You will always think it's a mistake or luck.  Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within.  Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences.  Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security.  Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them.



“We have brains in our head. We have feet in our shoes. We can steer ourselfs in any direction we choose. We are on your own. And we know what we know. And WE are the ones who'll decide where to go...”


“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
