********************
A loving heart is the truest wisdom.
Charles Dickens
A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world!
Charles Dickens
Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it
well; whatever I
have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in
small I
have always thoroughly been in earnest.
Charles Dickens
I feel an earnest and humble desire, and shall till I die, to increase the stock
of harmless
cheerfulness.
Charles Dickens
Do all the good you can, and make as little fuss about it as possible.
Charles Dickens
Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood
days,
recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler
back to his
own fireside and quiet home!
Charles Dickens
I do come home at Christmas. We all do, or we all should. We all come home, or
ought to
come home, for a short holiday - the longer, the better - from the great
boarding school
where we are forever working at our arithmetical slates, to take, and give a
rest.
Charles Dickens
I have always thought of Christmas as a good time; a kind, forgiving, generous,
pleasant
time; a time when men and women seem to open their hearts freely, and so I say,
God
bless Christmas!
Charles Dickens
It was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man
alive
possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as
Tiny Tim
observed, God Bless Us, Every One!
Charles Dickens
Time was with most of us, when Christmas Day, encircling all our limited world
like a magic
ring, left nothing out for us to miss or seek; bound together all our home
enjoyments,
affections, and hopes; grouped everything and everyone round the Christmas fire,
and
make the little picture shining in our bright young eyes, complete.
Charles Dickens
***********************
What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another
person lives,
acts, and experiences otherwise than we do...?
Friedrich Nietzsche
When one has much to put into them, a day has a hundred pockets.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in
madness.
Friedrich Nietzsche, "On Reading and Writing"
But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to
punish is
powerful!
Friedrich Nietzsche, Also Sprach Zarathustra, Chapter 29
Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of
health;
everything unconditional belongs in pathology.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
Poets are shameless with their experiences: they exploit them.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
And if
you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 146
What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 153
Only sick music makes money today.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Der Fall Wagner, Section 5
The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate
his
friends.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Ecce Homo, Foreword

********************
Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who
endures that the
final victory comes.
Buddha
Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.
Buddha
Friendship is the only cure for hatred, the only guarantee of peace.
Buddha
Good men and bad men differ radically. Bad men never appreciate kindness shown
them,
but wise men appreciate and are grateful. Wise men try to express their
appreciation and
gratitude by some return of kindness, not only to their benefactor, but to
everyone else.
Buddha
Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
Buddha
He is able who thinks he is able.
Buddha
He who loves 50 people has 50 woes; he who loves no one has no woes.
Buddha
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the
best
relationship.
Buddha
His success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may turn
again and
bring him down into the dust.
Buddha
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it
at someone
else; you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha
If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would
change.
Buddha
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Buddha
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the
victory is yours.
It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Buddha
It is nature's law that rivers wind, trees grow wood, and, given the
opportunity, women
work iniquity.
Buddha
Sutta-Pitaka
Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.
Buddha
Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of
water makes the
water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.
Buddha
Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds.
Buddha
Never in this world can hatred be stilled by hatred; it will be stilled by
non-hatred - this is
the law Eternal.
Buddha
Nothing is permanent.
Buddha
