********************
Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
Aristotle
Hope is a waking dream.
Aristotle
All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature,
compulsion,
habit, reason, passion, and desire.
Aristotle
Dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we
deserve them.
Aristotle
Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which
will not bear
raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is
false wit.
Aristotle
In the arena of human life the honors and rewards fall to those who show their
good
qualities.
What is a friend? One soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without
accepting it.
Aristotle
Man perfected by society is the best of all animals; he is the most terrible of
all when he
lives without law, and without justice.
Aristotle
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way... you
become just
by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by
performing brave actions.
Aristotle
I have gained this by philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others
do only
from fear of the law.
Aristotle
Liars when they speak the truth are not believed.
Aristotle
********************
# Miracles happen every day. Not just in remote country villages or at holy
sites halfway
across the globe, but here, in our own lives.
Deepak Chopra
# Tune into the presence of miracles, and in an instant, life can be transformed
into a
dazzling experience, more wondrous and exciting than we could even imagine.
Deepak Chopra
# When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their
meanings, you
connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities.
Deepak Chopra
# Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that
shape your
destiny in ways you might never have imagined.
Deepak Chopra
# If you and I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone
in the
world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world.
Deepak Chopra Quote
# You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our
existence, we
are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of
choices.
Deepak Chopra Quote
# If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the
internal
dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be
approved, and
the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time.
It's very
important to be aware of them every time they come up.
Deepak Chopra Quote
# The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither
themselves
nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and
express their
love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the
ultimate truth
at the heart of the universe.
Deepak Chopra Quote
# Every person is a God in embryo. Its only desire is to be born.
Deepak Chopra Quote
# When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their
meanings, you
connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities.
Deepak Chopra Quote
# The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Deepak Chopra Quote
