How is a person like a local rainfall? He is a giver to some, but to others he gives not... In this way, a person is like a local rainfall.
How does a person rain down everywhere? He gives to all, be they recluses and brahmins or wretched, needy beggars; he is a giver of food and drink, clothing... lodging and lights.

[Quote No.28281] Need Area: Friends > General "A human being is a part of the whole, called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space.

[Quote No.28288] Need Area: Friends > General "[Poem:]
'I Dream a World':
I dream a world where man,
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth,
And peace its paths adorn.
I dream a world where all,
Will know sweet freedom's way,
Where greed no longer saps the soul,
Nor avarice blights our day.
A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth,
And every man is free.
Where wretchedness will hang its head,
And joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all mankind-
Of such I dream, my world!

[Quote No.28292] Need Area: Friends > General " 'Each Life Affects Another' :
We may not always realize,
That every thing we do,
Affects not only our lives,
But touches others, too!
For a little bit of thoughtfulness,
That shows someone you care,
Creates a ray of sunshine,
For both of you to share.
Yes, every time you offer,
Someone a helping hand...
Every time you show a friend,
You care and understand...
Every time you have,
A kind and gentle word to give...
You help someone find beauty,
In this precious life we live.
For happiness brings happiness,
And loving ways bring love;
And Giving is the treasure,
That contentment is made of." - Amanda Bradley Author's Info on Wikipedia - Author on ebay - Author on Amazon - More Quotes by this Author Start Searching Amazon for Gifts Send as Free eCard with optional Google Image |
