Everyone is seeking happiness, even little insects that we can barely see. - Liliana Arias Romero
Not one of us can accurately predict what our future will be like. There are too many random variables. However, two things are certain. First, everyone will have a future but not everyone is going to have a good and happy one. Secondly, the effects which will appear in our future are present in the actions we take in this moment. What we do today sets in motion what will emerge tomorrow. Our future can be one of fulfillment and satisfaction or one of disillusionment and despair. One of comfort and health of poverty and sickness. What surfaces tomorrow is entirely dependent on today. - Victor M. Palrachin
Before we can master our minds, we must first calm and control our bodies. The body is the vehicle that lets us access our minds. If the body is out of control, it is extremely difficult to approach our minds. - Liliana Arias Romero
The wound caused by fire heals in its time; the burn inflicted by an inflamed tongue never heals. - Tirukural 129
