Words To Live By

Remember that you ought to behave in life as you would at a banquet. As something is being passed around, it comes to you. When it comes to you, stretch out your hand gently, take a portion of it politely, but pass it on. or, it has not come to you yet. Do not project your desire to meet it. So act always in life.
Epicteus

There is no greater trouble for thee than thine own self, for when thou art occupied with thyself, thou remainest away from God.
Abu Sa'id

Love bears it out to the edge of doom.
William Shakespeare

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
Saint Francis De Sales

We have to take the whole universe as the expression of the one Self. Then only our love flows to all beings and creatures in the world equally.
Swami Ramdas

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude.
I Corinthians
