"Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true."
Buddha
"In the end, only three things matter: How much you loved,
how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you."
Buddha
“When did I realize I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realised I was talking to myself. ”

"Hatred is a product of evil. To the extent you allow yourself to feel hatred, to that extent you become an instrument of evil. When you hate someone you draw that person to you. Is that what you want? To eliminate the connection, dismiss the person from your thoughts. To combat evil, respond with goodness."
Tao Te Ching
"If you talk to God, you are praying. If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia."
