********************
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

of the List of Proverbs
********************
********************
1- Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.
DALAI LAMA
2- If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.
DALAI LAMA
3- If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy,
practice compassion.
DALAI LAMA
4- My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
DALAI LAMA
5- Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of
luck.
DALAI LAMA
6- The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and
critical
analysis.
DALAI LAMA
7- We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without
human
affection.
DALAI LAMA
8- We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with
ourselves.
DALAI LAMA
9- Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
DALAI LAMA
10- If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there
is
anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if
you cannot
do anything, then there is also no need to worry.
DALAI LAMA
11- If you don't love yourself, you cannot love others. You will not be able to
love others.
If you have no compassion for yourself then you are not able of developing
compassion for
others.
DALAI LAMA
12- Human potential is the same for all. Your feeling, 'I am of no value', is
wrong.
Absolutely wrong. You are deceiving yourself. We all have the power of thought -
so what
are you lacking? If you have willpower, then you can change anything. It is
usually said
that you are your own master.
DALAI LAMA
13- We must recognize that the suffering of one person or one nation is the
suffering of
humanity. That the happiness of one person or nation is the happiness of
humanity.
DALAI LAMA
14- Through violence, you may 'solve' one problem, but you sow the seeds for
another.
DALAI LAMA
15- As people alive today, we must consider future generations: a clean
environment is a
human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility toward
others to ensure
that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than we found it.
DALAI LAMA
16- To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a
battle.
DALAI LAMA
17- There is a saying in Tibetan, 'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of
strength.'
No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our
hope, that's
our real disaster.
DALAI LAMA
18- The creatures that inhabit this earth-be they human beings or animals-are
here to
contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the
world.
DALAI LAMA
19- A spoon cannot taste of the food it carries. Likewise, a foolish man cannot
understand
the wise man's wisdom even if he associates with a sage.
DALAI LAMA
20- In our struggle for freedom, truth is the only weapon we possess.
DALAI LAMA
