  • In the fall, you don’t grieve because the leaves are falling and dying. You say, “Isn’t it beautiful!” Well, we’re the same way. There are seasons. We all fall sooner or later. It’s all so beautiful. And our concepts, without investigation, keep us from knowing this. It’s beautiful to be a leaf, to be born, to fall, to give way to the next, to become food for the roots. It’s life, always changing its form and always giving itself completely. We all do our part. No mistake.

    ~ Byron Katie quotes from Loving What Is

    Famous Quotes on: Katie, Yin, Mistake, Life, Giving, Fall, Give, Now, Become, Cause, Win, Dying

  • Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.

  • Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions that we do in our own?

    ~ Brigham Young quotes
