You need not leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, simply wait. You need not even wait, just learn to become quiet, and still, and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet. - Franz Karka
We will remain unfulfilled unless we nurture the seeds of divinity inside us. - Deepak Chopra
Unpleasant things usually create the opportunity for us to be born anew; adverse conditions often reveal the way for us to succeed. - Hsing Yun
Inconsiderate manners often reveal bad character. - Rabbi Joseph Telushkin
Material abundance, in all its expressions, happens to be one of those things that makes the journey more enjoyable. But success also includes good health, energy and enthusiasm for life, fulfilling relationships, creative freedom, emotional and psychological stability, a sense of well-being, and peace of mind. - Deepak Chopra
When you have command over your state of mind, you have great power. You are able to choose how to approach any situation in your life, for with inner power comes outer power – power over your behavior and actions and thus influence others. - Christopher Hansard
Who are the most evil of all beings in the world? Those who use their strength and power as a means of harming others. - Dalai Lama 7th

Rabbi Earl Grollman is one of the world’s leading authorities on bereavement and grief recovery. Here are some words of wisdom from this kind, gentle, insightful Rabbi about grief:
The only cure for grief is to grief. Don’t expect miracles overnight. Allow sufficient time for the grieving period to run its course. Grief shared is grief diminished. Let the right people know you need support and feedback. They cannot bring you comfort unless you allow them to enter your sorrow. Death ends a life, not a relationship. Self-help groups have been successful in providing necessary emotional intervention through the crisis of death. People in these groups understand your fears and frustrations. Allow them to help you. Your crisis of death can give way to the birth of new ways of living without your loved one. This is your call to action. Death is a challenge to new life.In times of crisis, silence is not golden. Talk things out with friends, family, counselors. Trust yourself and respect your feelings. In time you will gradually make peace with your loss. Feeling better is not an indication that you loved less. Rather it is a sign of your determination to let go and get on with life. Because of the development of mass media - televisions, newspapers, magazines and the internet - we're manipulated and controlled by other's people opinions without even knowing it. - Shohaku Okumura
