One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

Earn money by taking surveys! International offer!

Write them, above all, in your heart; there they can be neither burned nor destroyed, and you will take them wherever you go.

To live is to experience things, not sit around pondering the meaning of life.

People never learn anything by being told; they have to find out for themselves.

Really important meetings are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.

Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself.

Earn money by taking surveys! International offer!

The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.

Making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn't have the courage to say "yes" to life?

Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.

When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.

All life`s battles teach us something, even those we lose.

It`s always necessary to know when a stage of one`s life has ended. If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed, you lose the joy and meaning of the rest.

It isn`t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It`s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.

To love is to be in communion with the other and to discover in that other the spark of God.
