SACRED THOUGHTS

 

SACRED THOUGHTS

HUMAN beings the world over need freedom and security that they may be able to realize their full potential.  The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear.----AUNG SAN SUU KYI

 

WE should know that all things are the works of the Great Spirit.  We should know that He is within all things: the trees, the grasses, the rivers, the mountains, and all the four-legged animals, and the winged peoples; and even more important, we should understand that He is also above these things and peoples.----BLACK ELK 

 

HUMAN affairs are like a chess game: only those who do not take it seriously can be called good players.  Life is like an earthen pot: only when it is shattered, does it manifest its emptiness.----SENECA

 

LIFE must be measured rather by depth than by length: by thought and action, rather than by time.----LORD AVEBURY

 

GOD is the best to take care of man, and He is the most merciful of those who show mercy!  THE HOLY QUR’AN

 

BREAD of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.----PROVERBS 20.5.17

 

A LIAR lies to himself as well as to the gods.  Lying is the origin of all evils; it leads to rebirth in the miserable planes of existence, to breach of the pure precepts, and to corruption of the body.---MAHARATNAKUTA SUTRA 27.

 

YOU have got a good body.  That’s not enough.  You have to have the heart and soul to go with it.---- LEE HANEY

 

THERE is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all.  Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.  Without creativity one creeps along far behind experience, with creativity one pushes ahead of it.  Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.  Removing the faults in a stage-coach may produce a perfect stage-coach, but it is unlikely to produce the first motor car.----EDWARD DE BONO
