HINDU AND MUSLIM QUOTES
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
- Thich Nhat Hanh
Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the 'Titanic' who waved off the dessert cart.
- Erma Bombeck
No one who does good work will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come. When such people die, they go to other realms where the righteous live. They dwell there for countless years and then are reborn into a home which is pure and prosperous.
- Bhagavad Gita 6:40-42
With the divine solace "Be not afraid" all fear of oceans or waves or foam should be gone. Rejoice in Him and nothing else. He is the spring; everything else is desolate ice.
- Rumi, "Mathnawi"
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
- Chief Seattle
How swiftly men perish who praise themselves, unappraised of Their real measure and unable to live peacefully with others. Load too many of them and even peacock feathers Would break the cart's axle.
- Tirukkural 48: 474-475
Some people asked a Sufi master, "Which is better, courage or generosity?" The Sufi master replied, "Those who are generous have no need for courage."
- Sadi, "Gulistan"
The lifelong process of caregiving is the ultimate link between caregivers of all ages. You and I are not just in a phase we will outgrow. This is life—birth, death, and everything in between...The care continuum is the cycle of life turning full circle in each of our lives. And what we learn when we spoon-feed our babies will echo in our ears as we feed our parents. The point is not to be done. The point is to be ready to do again.
- Paula C. Lowe
In a war of words none can defeat an eloquent man Who never succumbs to fear or confusion. Upon finding men whose forceful speech is couched In cogent and enchanting ways, the world swiftly gathers around. Unaware of the artful use of a few flawless words, Men become enamored with excessive syllables. Men who cannot communicate their knowledge to others Resemble a bouquet of unfragrant flowers in full bloom.
- Tirukkural 65:647-650
