[Quote No.25698] Need Area: Friends > General
"It is possible to learn the outer steps that must be accomplished in a rite without learning the inner meanings that are the keys to the sacred traditions. Each seeker must therefore open his heart to the Great Mystery as he tries to follow the sacred way, because the perfect accomplishment of the outer steps of a rite will be worth nothing without the knowledge of the inner meanings." - Yellowtail

"The darkest hour in any man’s life is when he sits down to plan how to get money without earning it. [For example illegally.

"Prayer for Peace -
Almighty God and Creator, you are the
Father of all people on the earth.
Guide, I pray all the nations and their leaders
in the ways of justice and peace.
Protect us from the evils of injustice,
prejudice, exploitation, conflict and war.
Help us to put away mistrust, bitterness and hatred.
Teach us to cease the storing and using of implements of war.
Lead us to find justice, peace and freedom.
Unite us in the making and creating of the tools of peace
against ignorance, poverty, disease and oppression.
Grant that we may grow in harmony and friendship as brothers and sisters
created in Your image, to Your honor and praise.
Amen." - Orthodox Christian
From an Orthodox Christian prayerbook

[Quote No.25786] Need Area: Friends > General
"May all beings be filled with joy and peace.
May all beings everywhere,
The strong and the weak,
The great and the small,
The mean and the powerful,
The short and the long,
the subtle and the gross:
May all beings everywhere,
Seen and unseen,
Dwelling far off or nearby,
Being or waiting to become:
May all be filled with lasting joy.
Let no one deceive another,
Let no one anywhere despise another,
Let no one out of anger or resentment,
Wish suffering on anyone at all.
Just as a mother with her own life,
Protects her child, her only child, from harm,
So within yourself let grow,
A boundless love for all creatures.
Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as you stand or walk,
Sit or lie down,
As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Your life will bring heaven to earth." - Buddha

[Quote No.25787] Need Area: Friends > General
"At the foot of the Bodhi tree,
beautifully seated, peaceful, and smiling,
the living source of understanding and compassion,
to the Buddha I go for refuge.
The path of mindful living,
leading to healing, joy, and enlightenment,
the way of peace,
to the Dharma I go for refuge.
The loving and supportive community of practice,
realizing harmony, awareness, and liberation,
to the Sangha I go for refuge.
I am aware that the Three Gems are within my heart.
I vow to realize them.
I vow to practice mindful breathing and smiling,
looking deeply into things.
I vow to understand living beings and their suffering,
to cultivate compassion and loving kindness,
and to practice joy and equanimity.
I vow to offer joy to one person in the morning
and to help relieve the grief of one person in the afternoon.
I vow to live simply and sanely,
content with just a few possessions,
and to keep my body healthy.
I vow to let go of all worry and anxiety in order to be light and free.
I am aware that I owe so much to may parents, teachers, friends, and all beings.
I vow to be worthy of their trust,
to practice wholeheartedly,
so that understanding and compassion will flower,
and I can help living beings
be free from their suffering.
May the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha support my efforts." - Thich Nhat Hanh

[Quote No.25971] Need Area: Friends > General
"The men who wrote the Declaration of Independence were wise...When they came to define what they conceived as man’s unalienable rights, they chose their words carefully - ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’ Not ‘happiness’ but ‘the pursuit of happiness’. They made no promises of Utopia. They promised only the opportunity...of being able to better oneself through one’s own striving. No form of government can [realistically] give a person more than that." - Bernard Baruch
(1870 – 1965), Famous American financier, stockbroker, share market investor, statesman. He wrote two autobiographies - the first about his Wall Street career called, ‘Baruch - My Own Story’ and a second about his years in public service called, ‘Baruch – The Public Years’.
