Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. Albert Schweitzer

We do not receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can make for us, which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world. Marcel Proust

Rich

If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich. Lao Tzu

Happiness

Of all the gifts you have offered to God, your happiness-gift he treasures most. Sri Chinmoy

Change

The black cloud will disappear: the morning sun will appear once again in all its glory. Sri Chinmoy

Silence

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. Dalai Lama

At some point, the illusion breaks down and the opening for the start of the spiritual quest commences. The quest turns from without to within and the search for answers begins. David R. Hawkins

To Love
