The best quote of all: Be the change - Gandhi

We must be the change we wish to see in the world.

Gandhi

What the world needs is hearts that sing

Ask not what the world needs.
Ask rather what makes your heart sing and go do that;
for what the world needs is people with hearts that sing.

Philip Thatcher

Oscar Wilde quotes

Oscar Wilde is always eminently quotable. I especially like the first!

Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.

Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.

What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.

Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.

A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction.

To lose one parent, Mr Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.

The Importance of Being Earnest

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Danah Zohar, Spiritual Capital

Indeed, this is my personal understanding of what it means to have a soul in the first place - to be a living channel through which life's deeper dimensions and potentialities can rise to the surface and enter the world.

 

Danah Zohar in her book Spiritual Capital - Wealth We Can Live By (p.98)

Shel Silverstein

Listen to the mustn'ts, child.
Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the
shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves, then
listen close to me...
Anything can happen, child.
Anything can be.

Shel Silverstein. American poet, cartoonist and composer, 1930-1999
