Openness, rather than preoccupation with 'me'
Gratefulness, rather than resentment for what has happened to 'me'
Generosity, rather than possessiveness
Modesty, rather than the self-importance of 'me'
Forgiveness, rather than blame of others of ourselves
Trust, rather than insecurity and doubt.
[Kabir Helminski in 'The Knowing Heart']

He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in a dark room with a mosquito.
God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.

Learn from the turtle, it only makes progress when it sticks its neck out.
