Premise 1: Old habits die hard. Premise 2: Old people die easily.

Hypothesis: Old people with old habits die hardly easily. Old people with new habits just don't have enough time to indulge their new habits.

The mind-numbing boringness of the recycled thoughts; The limb-numbing ennui from walking a thousand miles and not having reached; The life of the moments making up a momentary life; The death of a thousand sighs culminating in thousands of my deaths; I have known that I have died before but I keep on living to see if I can cheat death someday. No man is your enemy, no man is your friend. All alike are your teachers. Your enemy becomes a riddle that must be solved. Your friend becomes a part of yourself a riddle hard to read. Only one thing is more difficult to know-your own heart. Mabel Collins

You don't have to believe in God in order to experience God. The human nervous system has seven biological responses that correspond to seven levels of divine experience. These are shaped not by any one religion but by the brain's need to take on infinite, chaotic universe and find meaning in it. How to Know God describes the quest each of us is on, whether we realize it or not "God is our highest instinct to know ourselves." Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience. If you hate another person, that hate may bind you to him through as many lives as you allow the hate to consume you.

BY STEPPING FORWARD AND SPEAKING UP, YOU ESTABLISH A CLAUSE IN YOUR LIFE THAT PERMITS YOU TO BE BRAVE IN ALL YOU DO. WHEN FACED WITH AN

APPROACHING CHOICE, ALWAYS CHOOSE BOLD. "Prosperity begins when you lose your fear of yourself..."

A Ship is always safe at the shore - but that is NOT what it is built for .

Emerson What you are shouts so loudly in my ears , I cannot hear what you say. To try to change outward attitudes and behaviors does very little good in the long run if we fail to examine the basic paradigms from which those attitudes and behaviors flow. We see the world , not as it is, but as we are or , as we are conditioned to see it. When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, our paradigms. When other people disagree with us, we immediately think something is wrong with them. Albert Einstein The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.

Aristotle We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

They say Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.

The Way to Painless Life. MIRDAD: This is the way to freedom from care and pain: So think as if your every thought were to be etched in fire upon the sky for all and everything to see. For so, in truth, it is. So speak as if the world entire were but a single ear intent on hearing what you say. And so, in truth, it is. So do as if your every deed were to recoil upon your heads. And so, in truth, it is. So wish as if you were the wish. And so, in truth, you are. So live as if your God Himself had need of you His life to live. And so, in truth, He does.
MIRDAD: Love is the law of God. You live that you may learn to love. You love that you may learn to live. No other lesson is required of Man. `Whoever cannot find a temple in his heart, the same can never find his heart in any temple.'
