“There are as many kinds of people as there are people. Do not fight your own individuality, your own boundless alienation within a world of other aliens. Bond with your fellow people. We’re all here alone and might as well help one another out. Help yourself understand people, and, in doing so, you will help them understand you. Most importantly, you will come to understand yourself as you evolve and mature.” ~ Unknown, The Daily Zen
There is no mistaking love.
Picture Quote Text:
“I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. There is no mistaking love…it is the common fiber of life, the flame that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives.” ~ Elizabeth Kübler-Ross
“It’s the recognition that other people’s problems, their pain and frustrations, are every bit as real as our own – often far worse. In recognizing this fact and trying to offer some assistance, we open our hearts and greatly enhance our sense of gratitude.” ~ Richard Carlson, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
“I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life.”~ Dalai Lama
“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” ~ Dalai Lama, The Art of Happiness
