We are reminded how short life really is, and how we are just passing through. So, all the people you haven't told you love lately, tell them, and live your days like you mean it. #<Author:0x00007f4ed268df08>

LOVE

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. #<Author:0x00007f4ed2677988>

COMMON GROUND

Dedicate some of your life to others. Your dedication will not be a sacrifice. It will be an exhilarating experience because it is an intense effort applied toward a meaningful end. #<Author:0x00007f4ed26cd4a0>

DEDICATION

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. #<Author:0x00007f4ed26b6638>

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future. #<Author:0x00007f4ed274e758>

COMPASSION

Real strength is not just a condition of one's muscle, but a tenderness in one's spirit. #<Author:0x00007f4ed279ee38>
