My Favourite Famous Quotes..Timeless Wisdom

"On life's journey
Faith is nourishment,
Virtuous deeds are a shelter,
Wisdom is the light by day and
Right mindfulness is the protection by night.
If a man lives a pure life nothing can destroy him;
If he has conquered greed nothing can limit his freedom. "


- Buddha

the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

~ Robert F Kennedy ~

"The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give.
But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom.
It is not a mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom.
There is no television here, no this, no that.
But we are perfectly happy."

~ Mother Teresa ~
