Love story

If I didn't met you, than I wouldn't have like you. If I didn't like you, than I wouldn't have love you. If I didn't love you, than I wouldn't have miss you.

Desire

Once I had a thousand desires..but in my one desire to know you all else melted away.

Rumi

You

You think you are the trouble...when you are the cure
You think you are the lock on the door...when you are the key

Rumi

Thus while the days flew by

Thus while the days flew by, and years passed on,
From Nature and her overflowing soul,
I had received so much, that all my thoughts
Were steeped in feeling; I was only then
Contented, when with bliss ineffable
I felt the sentiment of Being spread
O’er all that moves and all that seemeth still;
O’er all that, lost beyond the reach of thought
And human knowledge, to the human eye
Invisible, yet liveth to the heart;

Lao Tzu say

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

Peter Strup say

Time only seems to matter when it's running out.

Mark Twain say

When everyone is looking for gold, it's a good time to be in the pick and shovel business.

Henry Ford say

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

Fred Barnard say

A picture is worth ten thousand words.

Fan Li say

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Bai wen bu ru yi jian

If you know, recognize that you know. If you don't know, then realize that you don't know.

Seeing it once is better than being told 100 times.

An inch of time is an inch of gold, but an inch of gold can't buy an inch of time.

Classic

For the people prefer that which you prefer for yourself. That which you do not wish for yourself do not impose on others.

Bless those who says less and does more

Trust is that there should be no difference between what you do and say, and what you think.

Avoidance of sin is lighter than the pain of remorse.

Diogenes say

We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less.

The Covenant

I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud

Diogenes say

I have nothing to ask but that you would move to the other side, that you may not, by intercepting the sunshine, take from me what you cannot give.

Mahabharata

Cleverness does not always lead to gain nor stupidity to poverty.

The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, burned by any fire, moistened by water, withered by the wind.

Ramayana

If you are giving away the elephant but your heart is set on the rope used for tying the elephant...of what use is the attachment to the rope when you are giving away the elephant itself.

I Hope You Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

On Beauty

After a deep silence, mingled with sweet dreams, I asked, "Speak to me of that beauty which the people interpret and define, each one according to his own conception; I have seen her honored and worshipped in different ways and manners."

She answered, "Beauty is that which attracts your soul, and that which loves to give and not to receive. When you meet Beauty, you feel that the hands deep within your inner self are stretched forth to bring her into the domain of your heart. It is the magnificence combined of sorrow and joy; it is the Unseen which you see, and the Vague which you understand, and the Mute which you hear ."

Kahlil G

Pramoedya Ananta Toer

I will not close my eyes, neither those in my head nor those in my soul, as the ship carries me away, along with my future, my dreams, and my beliefs. The destination is no happy land somewhere; it's but a way station on my journey in life...though to believe even that much will require no small measure of hope.

Unending Love

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times
In life after life, in age after age, forever
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms
In life after life, in age after age, forever

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers, shared in the same
Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Tagore

The Singer

The singer alone does not make a song, there has to be someone who hears
One man opens his mouth to sing, the other sings in his mind
Only when waves fall on the shore do they make a harmonious sound
Only when breezes shake the woods do we hear a rustling in the leaves
Only from a marriage of two forces does music arise in the world
Where there is no love, where listeners are dumb, there never can be song.

Tagore

When I sing to make you dance

When I sing to make you dance
I truly now why there is music in leaves,
and why waves send their chorus of  voices
to the heart of the listening earth
