Daily Motto
“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.”
**Dalai Lama XIV

**Edith Sitwell
Nice Thoughts (Or Nothing at All)
“Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.”
**Federick Faber
Lust is in the Eye of the Beholder
“There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect.”
**G. K. Chesterton
