“To be great, be whole;
Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you.
Be whole in everything. Put all you are
Into the smallest thing you do.
So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor
Because it blooms up above.”
Fernando Pessoa

Be great
“To be great, be whole;
Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you.
Be whole in everything. Put all you are
Into the smallest thing you do.
So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor
Because it blooms up above.”

On Fear
“Within a system which denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order of the day. Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's self-respect and inherent human dignity. It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man.”

On love
Mystical, powerful and always unforgettable is the quality
of love.
Our capacity for love is what gives us the power and potential
to uplift both ourselves and all that lives around us. It drives the passion to
reach out and make a difference. It causes us to open our hearts and minds to
think of others. Without it all would be bleak and lost and a suffering without
end.
Below I have gathered a few famous quotes:
“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a
sunless garden when the flowers are dead.” Oscar Wilde
“Where there is love, there is life.” Mahatma Gandhi
“Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the
amazement of the Gods.” Plato
“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without
them humanity cannot survive.” His Holiness the Dalai Lama
“For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable
only through love.” Carl Sagan
“Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid
and durable happiness there is in our lives”. C.S.Lewis
