WHAT

«The mind is everything. What you think you become.»
Author: Buddha | Keywords: Everything, mind, think, WHAT
«We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.»
«The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.»
«The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.»
«The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.»
«What a wee little part of a person's life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself»
«We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.»
«What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!' Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine'?»
«The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.»
«The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means.»
