THOUGHT AUTHOR Imagination is more
important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the world. ~ Albert Einstein
~ (1879-1955, German-born
American Physicist) The impression forces
itself upon one that men measure by false
standards, that everyone seeks power, success,
riches for himself, and admires others who attain
them, while undervaluing the truly precious thing
in life. ~ Sigmund Freud
~ (1856-1939, Austrian
Physician - Founder of
Psychoanalysis) When we get too caught up
in the busyness of the world we lose connection
with one another- and ourselves. ~ Jack
Kornfield ~ True thoughts have
duration in themselves. If the thoughts endure, the
seed is enduring; if the seed endures, the energy
endures; if the energy endures, then will the
spirit endure. The spirit is thought; thought is
the heart; the heart is the fire; the fire is the
Elixir. ~Lu Yen~ (fl. 800
A.D.) Often we allow ourselves
to be upset by small things we should despise and
forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding
over grievances that, in a year's time, will be
forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote
our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to
great thoughts, real affections and enduring
undertakings. ~ Andre Maurois

Writer) If I could reach up and
hold a star for everytime you've made me smile, the
entire evening sky would be in the palm of my

becoming, a combination of states we have to go
through. Where people fail is they wish to elect a
state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
~Anais Nin~ The superior man... does
not set his mind either for or against anything, he
will pursue whatever is right. The superior man
thinks of virtue, the common man of
comfort. ~ Confucius
~ The man who removes a
mountain begins by carrying a way small
stones. ~ Chinese Proverb
~ Do not seek to follow the
footsteps of the men of old. Seek what they
sought. ~
Basho ~ If my heart can become
pure and simple, like that of a child, I think
there probably can be no greater happiness than
this. ~ Kitaro
Nishida~ To measure you by your
smallest deed is to reckon the ocean by the frailty
of its foam. To judge you by your failures is to
cast blame upon the seasons for their
inconsistencies. ~ Kahlil Gibran
~ Better indeed is knowledge
than mechanical practice. Better than knowledge is
meditation. But better still is surrender of
attachment to results, because there follows
immediate peace. ~ Bhagavad Gita
~ (c. BC 400, Sanskrit Poem
Incorporated Into the Mahabharata) Let no one ever come to
you without leaving better and happier. Be the

your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your
smile. ~ Mother Teresa

different one, each day brings a miracle of its
own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this
miracle. ~ Paulo Coelho
~ I am an acme of things
accomplish'd, and an encloser of things to
be. ~Walt
Whitman~ The Ascent Do God's will as if it
were thy will, and he will accomplish thy will as
if it were his own. ~Gamaliel~ (fl. 100 A.D.) As the ocean
giveth rise to springs, whose water return again
into its bosom through the rivers, so runneth thy
life force from the heart outwards, and so
returneth into its place again. ~Akhenaton?~ (c. B.C.
1375) You don't always get what
you ask for, but you never get what you don't ask
for... unless it's contagious! ~ Franklyn Broude
~ I will not be concerned at
other men's not knowing me; I will be concerned at
my own want of ability. ~ Confucius
~ (BC 551-479, Chinese

you can make your world or break your world by your
thinking. ~Susan
Taylor~ Aerodynamically the
bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble
bee doesn't know it, so it goes on flying
anyway. ~Mary
Kay~ I can honestly say that I
was never affected by the question of success of an
undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to
do, I was for it regardless of the possible
outcome. ~Golda
Meir~ The ambitious will always
be first in the crowd; he presseth forward, he
looketh not behind him. More anguish is it to his
mind to see one before him, than joy to leave
thousands at a distance. ~ Akhenaton

smile, kindness in your warm greeting. ~ Mother Teresa
