River of Life

Between the banks of pain and pleasure the river of life flows. It is only when the mind refuses to flow with life, and gets stuck at the banks, that it becomes a problem.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. Paul Boese

A Game

The world is a spell, an enchantment, an amazement, an arabesque of such stunning rhythm and a plot so intriguing that we are drawn by its web into a state of involvement where we forget that it is a game. Alan Watts

Injury

Put from you belief that "I have have been wronged," and with it will go the feeling. Reject your sense of injury, and the injury itself disappears. Marcus Aurelius

Words

A finger points at the moon, but the moon is not at the tip of the finger. Words point at the truth, but the truth is not in words. To seek illumination through words is to get lost in the web of words and not see the truth. Huineng

Change

Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable. Denis Waitley
