* If men knew themselves, they would know God; and if they really knew God, they would be satisfied with Him and would think of Him alone.

* What you plant here, you will reap there.

-Idn 'Arbri.

"Just as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning." - Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) Russian Composer

There's a fount about to stream,
There's a light about to beam,
There's a warmth about to glow,
There's a flower about to blow;
There's a midnight blackness changing Into gray;
Men of thought and men of action, Clear the way."
- Charles Mackay (1814-1889) Scottish Poet, Song Writer "The greatest failure is the failure to try." - William Arthur Ward (1921-1994) American College Administrator

Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom

--------------------

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.

--------------------

Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible.


Classic Quotes by George Washington Carver (1864-1903) US agricultural chemist

Saving for what ?


A man was walking down a dark road, thinking his own thoughts.

He did not notice the approach of a man until he felt a gun in his

back and a low voice whispering: " Your money or your life !"

" Take my life," the victim replied promptly. " I am saving my

money for my old age."


Prayer, " O Lord, help me to wear out in Thy service

instead of rusting out in self-preservation. "

Love, like a river, will cut a new path
whenever it meets an obstacle.

- Crystal Middlemas -

* Do not go to the garden of flowers!
O Friend! go not there;
In your body is the garden of flowers.
Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus, and there gaze
on the Infinite Beauty.

* TELL me, Brother, how can I renounce Maya?
When I gave up the tying of ribbons, still I tied my garment about me:
When I gave up tying my garment, still I covered my body in its folds.
So, when I give up passion, I see that anger remains;
And when I renounce anger, greed is with me still;
And when greed is vanquished, pride and vainglory remain;
When the mind is detached and casts Maya away, still it clings to the
letter.
Kabîr says, "Listen to me, dear Sadhu! the true path is rarely found."

-Kabir (Translated by Rabindra Nath Tagore)

* 'So many castes and so many creeds,
So many faiths, and so many beliefs,
All have arisen from ignorance of man,
Wise is he who only truth conceives.'

* 'Earth, water, fire and air,
All work harmoniously.
For thee they always food prepare,
Thou shouldst not eat unthankfully.
For how each day the sun shines and serves,
All praise from thee Allah deserves.'

* 'Every leaf of tree, Allah's praise displays,
Only the pious mind can hear their sacred lays.'

* 'A church, a temple or a Ka'ba stone,
Qur'an or Bible or a martyr's bone,All these and more my heart can tolerate, Since my religion now is Love alone' (Abul Ala).

* 'Although love is a sweet madness,
Yet all infirmities it heals.
Saints and sages have passed through it,
Love both to God and man appeals.'

Those who will play with cats must expect to be scratched.</BLOCKQUOTE>

Those who see all creatures in themselves And themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves And themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life Delude the one who sees its unity?

Upanishads - - Hinduism

Thou Soul who art free of "we" and "I,"
0 Thou who art the subtle Essence of the souls of men and women,
When a man or woman unites with Thee, Thou art that One; when their individuality is obliterated, Thou alone art.
Thou didst contrive this "I" and this "we" only so that Thou mightest play the game of worship with Thyself,
So that all "Is" and "Thous" should become one Soul, immersed at last in the one Beloved.

-Rumi (mystic and poet, Islam, Sufism)

les mystiques musulmans auxquels je ne reproche rien avaient le don de contempler et de dire ce qu'ils ne comprenaient pas en se servant de la raison ..ça etait une sorte de méditation spirituelle mais qui n'etait pas fondée scientifiquement selon ce que les exégètes disaient en partant du texte coranique qui déclare avec clarté que l'âme par exemple est une question divine que personne ne pourrait aborder
merci

Thnaks dear Rebecca ..well said

Do everything you do in order to come close to your Lord in your worship and prayers. Think that each deed may be your last act, each prayer your last prostration, that you may not have another chance. If you do this, it will be another motivation for becoming heedful and also for becoming sincere and truthful.

Ibn 'Arabi - (Murcie, 1165 — Damas, 1240) - Islam, Sufism

Only by love can men see God and know him, and enter into him. He who works for him, who loves him, whose supreme Goal is God, free from attachment to all things, and with true love for all creation, he, truly, becomes one with God.
