Indian political and spiritual leader Gandhi, Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma) thoughts:
“We must become the change we want to see.”
Mahatma Gandhi quotes (Indian Philosopher, internationally esteemed for his doctrine of nonviolent protest, 1869-1948)
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.
Mahatma Gandhi
Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
Mahatma Gandhi
In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.

Nike, Just do it!!
NIKE, JUST DO IT!
Too often we are scared.
Scared of what we might not be able to do.
Scared of what people might think if we tried.
We let our fears stand in the way of our hopes.
We say no when we want to say yes.
We sit quietly when we want to scream.
And we shout with the others,
when we should keep our mouths shut.
Why?
After all,
we do only go around once.
There's really no time to be afraid.
So stop.
Try something you've never tried.
Risk it.
Enter a triathlon.
Write a letter to the editor.
Demand a raise.
Call winners at the toughest court.
Throw away your television.
Bicycle across the United States.
Try bobsledding.
Try anything.
Speak out against the designated hitter.
Travel to a country where you don't speak the language.
Patent something.
Call her.
You have nothing to lose
and everything
everything
everything to gain.
JUST DO IT!

My list
My list
I have a list of folks I know,
All written in a book;
And every year at Christmas time,
I go and take a look.
And that is when I realize,
That these names are a part,
Not of the book they're written in,
But of my very heart.
For each name stands for someone
Who has touched my life sometime;
And in that meeting they've become,
The "Rhythm in each Rhyme."
And while it sounds fantastic
For me to make this claim,
I really feel I am composed,
Of each remembered name.
And while you may not be aware
Of any special link,
Just meeting you has shaped my life
A lot more than you think.
For once that you have known someone,
The years cannot erase,
The memory of a pleasant word,
Or of a friendly face.
So never think my Christmas cards
Are just a mere routine,
Of the names upon a list,
Forgotten in between.
For when I send a Christmas card
That is addressed to you,
It is because you're on that list,
Of folks I'm indebted to.
And whether I have known you
For many years or few,
In some way you have had a part
In shaping things I do.
So every year when Christmas comes,
I realize anew ...
One of the biggest gifts that God can give Is knowing folks like you!
~ Helen Steiner Rice ~ Christmas 1949

Happiness
Happiness
Every day, as we seek happiness, the world seduces us with a ceaseless barrage of things and people we can possess. It gives us plenty of compelling reasons why we should have them. It could be a new car, a new loud suit or even a new wife.
But if our happiness depends on our possessions, then we are destined to spend our lives chasing after an illusion.
A thirsty poet was walking in the woods one night when he came upon a well with a bucket and an attached rope. He looked into the well and the vision that met his eyes made his heart stop momentarily. Although a man accustomed to waxing lyrical about almost anything, he found no words to describe the beauty of the tranquil, perfectly round object, shimmering with ivory light at the bottom of the well.
Determined that such a dazzling thing should be his, he lowered the bucket into the well and tried to "catch" the object. The instant the bucket touched the water, the thing of beauty began to waver and distort. The poet brought up several buckets full of water, but the object remained at the bottom of the well. After the ripples had settled, it seemed to mock him with its serenity and inertia.
Undeterred, the poet labored the entire night until finally, he had emptied the well. He looked down and was shocked to see that the vision of beauty was no longer there! Worn out and distraught, he fell on his back, bemoaning his "loss". At that moment, he saw the fading moon in the sky, making way for the morning sun, and finally understood his folly.
Like the poet in the story, many of us spend our lives attempting to possess the objects of our desires. We try vainly to "scoop up the moon", not realizing that it's merely a reflection we see. We assume falsely that what we want is right there in the water. We think that we can bring it up to us, and when we do, we will be happy.
Eventually, we look around and realize that we had wasted our time and energy on artificial and inconstant things. We had squandered the water that would have relieved our thirst. We look up and realize that the actual moon was in the sky all along. Its beauty was something that anyone could savor without effort or price, but that no one could own or control, no matter how hard one tried.
Trying to find happiness in possessing people or things will ultimately bring us heartache, frustration and regret. It is in realizing that although we cannot possess the moon, we can still behold its beauty, that we find lasting fulfillment and mental tranquility.
To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Love and Peace
Love and Peace
Discouragement is a poisonous swamp where life's most beautiful hopes are suffocated.
Hastiness becomes a fire to burn without purpose, often damaging the good work. Systematic fear forms a field where weeds grow and destroy the seedlings of hope.
Slander breeds uncountable wrongdoing.
Laziness weaves the destruction of labor as much as ill will inspires foolishness.
Violence is discussed with the exaggerated co-operation of the modern vehicles of informatics, stimulating sick minds and psychopathic personalities to surrender to hallucinations.
The therapy for the terrible disease that dominates the world is love in all its forms. Fraternal love that supports friendship and disseminates hope.
Spiritual love that spreads everyone's interests in communal well being. Christian love in active service that develops good work and spreads solidarity.
Love that understands mistakes is a copy of the love that re-educates, in the same manner that forgiving love promotes the love that redeems.
Discouragement, hastiness, fear, slander and laziness are forms of cruel violence and the bastard sons of selfishness which is in itself the author of the evils which misrule the world.
Contribute to orderliness and peace, using the verb to be happy. Speaking to help, spreading moral comfort and guidance for equilibrium. Use thought, protecting yourself against, pessimism, giving off mental waves of sympathy, praying in silence. Carrying out good works, even with simple gifts such as shedding some light in the darkness, a glass of cold water for the scaring thirst, a piece of bread proffered to the famished, a grain full of life in a fertile trough looking at the future ...
Each person can offer his best part, giving the most important share, which in plain and simple words is love.
In all events, notwithstanding that He could change the structures of His time and solve the problems of those who sought Him, Jesus, for love's sake helped each creature that came to Him, aiding them to change their attitude to life and thrive in goodness, and to proceed in peace in the direction of God, Who is Total Love.

See God
See God
One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. The teacher asked a little boy:
TEACHER: Tommy do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes
TEACHER: Do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because He isn't there. He doesn't exist.
A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy:
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by this time).
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?

LITTLE GIRL: Do you see the teacher?

LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school she must not have one

Why It Is So Hard To Let Go
Why It Is So Hard To Let Go
The cheerful girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them: a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box.
"Oh please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please?" Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl's upturned face. "A dollar ninety-five. That's almost $2.00. If you really want them, I'll think of some extra chores for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy them for yourself. Your birthday's only a week away and you might get another crisp dollar bill from Grandma."
As soon as Jenny got home, she emptied her penny bank and counted out 17 pennies. After dinner, she did more than her share of chores and she went to the neighbor and asked Mrs. McJames if she could pick dandelions for ten cents.
On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar bill and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace.
Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere - Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed. The only time she took them off was when she went swimming or had a bubble bath. Mother said if they got wet, they might turn her neck green.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, "Do you love me?" "Oh yes, Daddy. You know that I love you." "Then give me your pearls." "Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess - the white horse from my collection. The one with the pink tail. Remember, Daddy? The one you gave me. She's my favorite." "That's okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night." And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.
About a week later, after the story time, Jenny's daddy asked again, "Do you love me?" "Daddy, you know I love you." "Then give me your pearls." "Oh Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my baby doll. The brand new one I got for my birthday. She is so beautiful and you can have the yellow blanket that matches her sleeper." "That's okay. Sleep well. God bless you, little one. Daddy loves you" And as always, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.
A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed Indian-style. As he came close, he noticed her chin was trembling and one silent tear rolled down her cheek. "What is it, Jenny? What's the matter?" Jenny didn't say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little pearl necklace. With a little quiver, she finally said, "Here, Daddy. It's for you."
With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny's kind daddy reached out with one hand to take the dime-store necklace, and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave them to Jenny. He had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her genuine treasure.
So it is with our Heavenly Father. He is waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that he can give us beautiful treasure. Isn't God good?
Are you holding onto things which God wants you to let go of. Are you holding on to harmful or unnecessary partners, relationships, habits and activities which you have come so attached to that it seems impossible to let go? Sometimes it is so hard to see what is in the other hand but do believe this one thing.............
God will never take away something without giving you something better in ....

Best Anne Frank Quotes and Quotations
And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!
Anne Frank

If I read a book that impresses me, I have to take myself firmly by the hand, before I mix with other people; otherwise they would think my mind rather queer.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is discord going to show itself while we are still fighting, is the Jew once again worth less than another? Oh, it is sad, very sad, that once more, for the umpteenth time, the old truth is confirmed: "What one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does is thrown back at all Jews."
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.

Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!
Anne Frank

How true Daddy's words were when he said: all children must look after their own upbringing. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I soothe my conscience now with the thought that it is better for hard words to be on paper than that Mummy should carry them in her heart.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I read a book that impresses me, I have to take myself firmly by the hand, before I mix with other people; otherwise they would think my mind rather queer.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is discord going to show itself while we are still fighting, is the Jew once again worth less than another? Oh, it is sad, very sad, that once more, for the umpteenth time, the old truth is confirmed: "What one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does is thrown back at all Jews."
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.
Anne Frank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Anne Frank

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.
Anne Frank

Who would ever think that so much went on in the soul of a young girl?

Condemning Yourself for Past Mistakes
Condemning Yourself for Past Mistakes
How do you deal with your past mistakes?
Today, I'd like to recommend a great way to burden your mind, waste time, and lower your self-esteem.
It's called Condemning Yourself for Past Mistakes.
Try it out on yourself and people you dislike! It's very easy to do, and anyone can do it. It’s great for injecting endless hours of frustration and stress into your life!
I've known many people who do this very well, but just in case you're having some difficulty, here are some pointers to send you on your way?
First, think of all the things you did or failed to do in the past.Especially, things which you cannot do anything about it now. Constantly remind yourself of them and beat yourself up for them.
A good way to do this is to keep whining about them. If you can regularly complain to others, it is even better! Remember to sigh a lot too. There's nothing like constant verbal repetition for these past mistakes to really stick.
Then, tell yourself that you'll never be able to adjust your behavior to prevent similar errors in future. Learning from mistakes just never crossed your mind. Remember, self-improvement is a myth.
This kind of thinking will start a vicious cycle. Remembering how incapable, unlovable, and foolish you are will enable you to continue repeating past mistakes. Now this part is essential in order for the entire self-loathing process to work.
In no time, you'll be able to whittle your self-esteem down to such a degree that you will have no problem thinking you're absolutely incapable of success and happiness. The strategy is laughably simple: reinforce negative thoughts and experiences and they will inevitably lead to negative feelings and outcomes.
Remember, you are not special, you are not unique. The world simply doesn't need another loser like you. If you're doing everything right, by this time, you would have lost most of your friends, alienated your family members, lost your appetite for food and life, and are looking forward to a lonely, meaningless existence.
So, if you're ever bored, and need to kill some time, depress your spirit and embrace failure as lord of your life, try condemning yourself for past mistakes. Have fun!
Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you cannot bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are beyond that pain.
Kahlil Gibran

Twenty Dollars
Twenty Dollars
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air."My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by ...WHO WE ARE.You are special - don't ever forget it."

Team Quotes and Quotations
Team Quotes and Quotations

Only If I Try
Only If I Try
Sometimes, only if I try, that is the only way I can know if it can be done or not.
There was a young man named Kimana. He wanted to marry the Sky Maiden. He wrote a letter to her father, the Sun Chief. Kimana went to Rabbit. "Will you take this letter?"
Rabbit said, "I cannot go to Heaven." Kimana went to Antelope. "Will you take this letter?" Antelope said, "I cannot go to Heaven." Kimana went to Hawk. "Will you take this letter?" Hawk said, "I can go halfway. But I cannot go to Heaven." Then Frog came to Kimana. "Why do you not take the letter yourself?" Kimana said, "This I cannot do." Frog said, "Then I will take it for you." Kimana laughed. "Can a frog take a letter to Heaven?" Frog said, "Whatever it is, I can do it. But only if I try."
Now, Frog lived by a well. Every day, the girls who served the Sun Chief came to this well. They climbed down from Heaven on a web made by Spider. Then they filled their water jugs and went home. Frog put the letter in his mouth and hid in the well. The girls from Heaven came for water, singing their song.
Good day to you, my sister. Good day to you.
They lowered their jugs into the well, and Frog jumped into one. The girls did not see. Then the girls climbed back up the web of Spider. They went into the house of the Sun Chief and left the jugs in a room.
Frog was alone. He jumped out of the jug and spit the letter out on a bench. Then he hid in a corner. The Sun Chief came for a drink of water. He saw the letter and opened it.
He read,"I, Kimana, a man of earth, wish to marry the Sky Maiden, your daughter." The Sun Chief said, "How can this be?" He went to the girls who fetched water. "Did you bring this letter?" The girls said, "We did not." He went to his wife, the Moon Lady, and read it to her. "What should we do?" The Moon Lady said, "Don't ask me! Ask your daughter!" He went to his daughter. The Sky Maiden said, "Let us see if he can bring a wedding gift."
So the Sun Chief wrote a letter and set it on the bench. Then he went away. Frog came out and put the letter in his mouth. Then he climbed into an empty jug.
The next day, the girls took the jugs and climbed down to earth, singing their song.
Good day to you, my sister. Good day to you.
They lowered their jugs into the well, and Frog jumped out. The girls did not see.Then the girls went back to Heaven.
Frog took the letter to Kimana, and Kimana read it. "You may marry my daughter if you bring a purse of money." Kimana said, "This I cannot do." Frog said, "Then I will bring it for you." Kimana laughed. "You took a letter to Heaven. But can you bring a purse of money?" Frog said, "Whatever it is, I can do it. But only if I try." Kimana gave Frog a purse of money. Frog took hold of it with his mouth and carried it to the well. He climbed in and waited. The girls from Heaven came to the well.
Good day to you, my sister. Good day to you.
Frog got into one of the jugs. The girls returned to Heaven and left him in the room. Frog set the money on the bench. Then he hid.
The Sun Chief came and found the purse.
"How can this be?" He went to the girls. "Did you bring this money?" The girls said, "We did not." He went to his wife. The Moon Lady said, "Don't ask me! Ask your daughter!" He went to his daughter. The Sky Maiden said, "Let us see if he can come fetch me." So the Sun Chief wrote a letter and left it on the bench. Frog put the letter in his mouth and climbed into an empty jug. The next day, the girls carried him to earth.
Good day to you, my sister. Good day to you.
He jumped back into the well, and the girls went back to Heaven. Frog brought the letter to Kimana, and Kimana read it.
"You may marry my daughter if you come and fetch her." Kimana said, "This I cannot do." Frog said, "Then I will fetch her for you." Kimana laughed. "You took a letter to Heaven. You brought a purse of money. But can you fetch a bride?" Frog said, "Whatever it is, I can do it. But only if I try." Frog climbed back into the well. The girls came with their jugs.
Good day to you, my sister. Good day to you.
They carried him to Heaven. Frog jumped out. He spit in all the jugs of water. Ptui. Ptui. Ptui. Then he hid in an empty jug. The people of the house came and drank the water. They all got sick.
The Sun Chief called for the spirit doctor. The doctor told him, "You promised your daughter to a man of earth, but she has not gone. He has sent an evil spirit with a sickness. The evil spirit is in the shape of a frog."
The Sun Chief went to his wife. The Moon Lady said, "Don't ask me! Ask your daughter!" He went to his daughter. The Sky Maiden said, "I will go." The next day, the Sky Maiden went with the girls down to the well.
Good day to you, my sister. Good day to you.
The girls filled their jugs, and Frog jumped out. Then the girls left the Sky Maiden and went home.
Frog jumped out of the well. "I will lead you to your husband." The Sky Maiden laughed. "Can a frog lead a woman?" Frog said, "I took a letter to Heaven. I brought a purse of money. I fetched a bride. Whatever it was, I could do it. But only if I try."
The Sky Maiden said, "Then it is you I will marry." She took Frog back to Heaven and married him. They lived on and on. And Kimana is still waiting for his bride.
Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right!
Henry Ford
There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Lewis Carroll
