A poet never takes notes. You never take notes in a love affair.
-Robert Frost

-Robert Frost
Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.
-Ernest Hemingway
Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
-Ernest Hemingway
Faith is the sense of life, that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself, but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live.
-Leo Tolstoy
Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
-Leo Tolstoy
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
-Buddha
Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
-Buddha
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
-Buddha
