Quotes

  • Viktoriya Rassokhahas quoted5 years ago
    The way to happiness: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.

    escription for Heartache
    There is indeed a “prescription” for heartache. One element in the prescription is physical activity…Muscular activity utilizes another part of the brain and therefore shifts the strain and gives relief…Another profoundly creative element in the prescription for heartache is to gain a sound and satisfying philosophy of life and death and deathlessness.
  • Shomahas quoted6 years ago
    It has been said that thoughts are things, that they actually possess dynamic power. Judged by the power they exercise one can readily accept such an appraisal. You can actually think yourself into or out of situations…Conditions are created by thoughts far more powerfully than conditions create thoughts.
