Memory holds you back, Imagination pushes you forward.

Pain is there when you are born,Its the very first thing you feel when you come in to the world.Then why run? Face it head on, cry in it,laugh in it because in the end pain is what you will remember.

What we should understand here is that it__ not food or breathing that life ultimately needs, but energy. And the most direct expression of energy is heat. In this sense, temperature expresses the essence of life. When you feel the heat in your body, you__e observing the most central operations of your life. You__e connected to the essence of life.

As the gift of the Creator, natural healing power is ours. That__ why no special method is needed for recovering it. There are no perfect methods, no matter how effective or powerful they may be. What is perfect is our sense of life itself.

I believe the key to solving everything from individual problems to the global environmental crisis or political and religious conflicts is to be found in restoring this link with the great life force. By recovering our natural healing ability and the goodness of human nature, we can create a truly peaceful, sustainable world. And I don__ believe that these are things that social institutions or prestigious experts can do for us: they must happen within each and every one of us.

As long as I can find hope in myself, there is hope for the future of the earth and the human race. If I fail to discover hope in myself, there is no hope for the earth or the human race. If I discover the goodness of human nature in myself, I can find it in the entire human race. If I fail to discover it in myself, I can__ expect it from anyone else, either.

You will be able to live as your authentic self when you find that infinite source of energy and that mind, bright and shining like the sun. Then you won__ need to become anyone other than yourself. You won__ need to depend on externals for your health and happiness, and you won__ need to look outside yourself to find passion and hope for life.

Many of the activities we pursue, the resources we consume, and the waste products we create are the products of our desire to make our bodies a little more comfortable and carefree. Whether it__ food, exercise, music, alcohol, sex, drugs__hatever the stimulus__ltimately what we seek is a feeling of satisfaction. In the end, though, true satisfaction arises from a balance of healthy, harmonious energy. And that harmonious, balanced energy is the core of the natural healing power.

The management no longer depends upon the talents or skills of its workers---those things are built into the operating systems and machines. Jobs that have been "deskilled" can be filled cheaply. The need to retain any individual worker is greatly reduced by the ease with which he or she can be replaced.

They inhabited a lost world of splendour and brutality, a world dominated by religious change, in which there were few saints.

Until quite recently women's histories were largely overlooked but in the wake of feminism there has been increasing interest in retrieving them.

It was after our breakfast that I was told to go up along with the parlour maid and serve the family breakfast. I was very nervous, but the parlour maid told me not to worry. So up I went, shaking in my boots, and into the breakfast room where the sideboard was laden with kidneys and rice and bacon and all sorts of delicious things. There were just four people at the table: three elderly men and a woman with a green parrot on her shoulder. Now, the thing about the parrot was that it had messed all down her shoulder and all down the front of her dress and she wasn't in the least bothered. She just smiled into the distance and every now and then fed the bird something from her hand.

To be prepared against surprise is to be trained. To be prepared for surprise is to be educated.

Like all great things which then become fashions, science, as now the universal stamp of approval, probably receives more abuse than any other field of study. Glaze the word itself over whatever vague ideology one may presume ratified, no matter the degree of pseudo-science or lack of scholarly credibility packaged within, and the many will consume it like gravy on a feast. My thought for the time is that as the promise of true science increases, so shall rise its many more superficial counterparts as provided by the agenda-bound trendies and hyper-ambitious laypersons to boot.

No one should judge another person's journey.

The extent of creativity to which I admire in an individual is his ability to be richly creative while still, in a way, telling the truth. It is the fool who creates only his own lies, and the bore who simply repeats what he is told.

We are all born as storytellers. Our inner voice tells the first story we ever hear.

When you make choices, please remember: what is good for you but not good for others won__ be good for you either, eventually; what__ good for you and others but not good for the Earth won__ be good for you or others either, eventually; what__ good for you, others, and the Earth will be good for all.
