I subscribe to the Dzogchen Center's Weekly Words of Wisdom, which are sent out weekly (duh) via email. I'm not terribly religious, so the quotes that are mainly just some interesting things to ponder or some secular words of advice are a bright spot to my week. Some past favorites are as follows:
Compassion is an attitude,
Love is an action.
~ H.H. the Twelfth Gyalwang Drukpa
The time to be happy is now,
The place to be happy is here,
The way to be happy is to make others so.
~ Robert Ingersoll
Ring the bells that still can ring
forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything
that's how the light gets in.
~ Leonard Cohen
If you want to win the war with your mind, you'll be at war forever.
~ Adyashanti
We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
~ Carlos Castaneda
If you haven't got any charity in your heart,
you have the worst kind of heart trouble.
~ Bob Hope
Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.
~ Theodore Isaac Rubin
This is the one I received today, which totally made my smile because of the eclecticism of the selection:
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
~ Bob Marley
I have also been thinking about this quote a lot lately:
Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and other days you’re the statue.
-Roger C. Anderson
I've had a statue kind of week. Hope things will start looking up soon :)
