The Talmud
"If we become uncomfortable in any given moment, we can look at a flower, a pebble in the street or the tire on our car and be grateful. We can gaze at a person in the distance or at a cloud in the sky and be appreciative. We can smile at a stranger, hug someone we know or tidy a disorganized shelf and be thankful for the opportunity. If we choose gratitude, we will be happy!"

"Hold my hand; let us walk together to see the future, not the past. Our skin colors are different; let us paint the world. Our languages are different; let us make it into a song. Our beliefs are different; let us respect each other. Let's make our differences into one idea, for the world and for our generations to come. We might not be able to make a lot of changes but let us try it."

"A man of great power will try to change the world. But a man of great love will let the world change him."
Written in 2009 by Khan V. --- Pennsylvania
Many people are seeking and searching. Many are striving and surviving. Only few take the time to notice how perfect God's creation is and His plan. We can't change the world; no one can but God. All we can do is change the way we see the world. Through the eyes of love, the life we live in and the world we are in is a beautiful place and a meaningful journey. When we can appreciate and experience this journey with gratitude, we no longer need changes and through this we find love, peace gratitude and contentment.

"Speak always truth and only the truth. Then you will find that whatever you speak becomes true."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Soundararajan Sundararajan
Nowadays we find people very rarely speaking truth and telling lies (falsehood) has become order of the day. People do not speak truth out of fear. In India, ancient sages & rishis spoke only truth as theywere not afraid of anything and whatever they spoke, either it may be a Blessing or a curse, both became true. Only a fearless person can speak truth and a person who speaks truth goes closer & closer to GOD as GODis nothing but TRUTH. In India, in Sanskrit, it is known as SATHYAM. SATHYAM SIVAM SUNDARAM are the verses denoting GOD which means that Truth is SIVAM (GOD) and Sundaram means Beauty. Wherever one finds serene beauty,one can feel the presence of GOD. Beauty gives internal Happiness & Peace. GOD is PEACE, GOD is BEAUTY, GOD is TRUTH. The first fundamental step is to realize GOD is TRUTH in your thoughts, speech and action.The quote has been told to me by my Teacher who taught me Yoga Vedantha when I was in Himalayas. As a member of MotivateUs.com, I thought it is my duty to spread this message to one & all so that TRUTH prevails all the time.
"Who do you love and trust more: yourself or God? I choose God because I can fail myself. However, God never fails me."
Written in 2009 by K.D. --- Texas
I personally came up with and wrote this quote because from time to time, we as humans tend to want to rely on our own understanding as it pertains to life's situations. However, the fact that we are human,we can fail ourselves. But, if we put our complete trust in God and have faith that He will get us through, WE CAN'T LOSE!
"There is a reason for everything I think, I know. There is a purpose for my existence. Though I doubt I can change the world single-handedly, God has granted me with the ability to make a difference. Even having changed only one person's life, I would feel accomplished that I made a difference and can sleep throughout the night knowing so..."

"The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes."
William Shakespeare --- Submitted by Aparna Hareesh --- India
This line is said by Portia (Dr Balthasar) to Shylock when he demands his one pound of flesh, "On what compulsion must I? Tell me that". In the entire play this is one dialogue that has made me spellbound.
"I have realized that I should not regret any day of my life. Good days give me happiness, bad days give me experiences - both are essential to life. Happiness keeps me sweet, trials make me strong, sorrows keep me human, failures make me humble, success keeps me loving but God keeps me going."
