Buddha quotes

''Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.''

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

Well I don’t fit into your criteria but this is my own words of wisdom “A person is smart, people are stupid”

"To thine own self be true"

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

"True Wisdom is the realization of how little you know....only a fool thinks he knows all there is to know..."

Some words of wisdom from LDS Prophets and Apostles:

[list][*]No other success can compensate for failure in the home. – David O. McKay, Prophet

[*]Words do not convey meanings; they call them forth.' I speak out of the context of my experience, and you listen out of the context of yours, and that is why communication is difficult. - David O. McKay, Prophet

[*]True Christianity is love in action. There is no better way to manifest love for God than to show an unselfish love for one's fellowmen. – Thomas S. Monson, Apostle

[*]What we need is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. - Dallin H. Oaks, Apostle

[*]Some men are willing to die for their faith, but they are not willing to fully live for it. - Ezra Taft Benson, Prophet

[*]Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity. - Neal A. Maxwell, Apostle

[*]The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. - David O. McKay

[*]There is room for improvement in every life. Regardless of our occupations, regardless of our circumstances, we can improve ourselves and while so doing have an effect on the lives of those about us. - Gordon B. Hinckley, Prophet

[*]Often [the] most devastating attacks on family are not direct or frontal or openly immoral. Intelligent evil is too cunning for that... - M. Russel Ballard, Apostle

[*]When was anything really worthwhile easy? - Richard G. Scott, Apostle

[*]I know of no easy formula to success. Persist, persist, PERSIST; work, work, WORK—is what counts in the battle of life. - Heber J. Grant, Prophet

[*]All the knowledge in the world would not amount to anything unless we put that knowledge into actual practice. - Heber J. Grant, Prophet

[*]Do not be so full of religion as to look upon every little overt act that others may commit as being the unpardonable sin that will place them beyond the reach of redemption and the favours of our God. - Brigham Young, Prophet

[*]It's not so much what happens to us but how we deal with what happens to us. - James E. Faust, Apostle

[*]There are three great epochs in a man’s earthly life, upon which his happiness here and in eternity may depend, [namely], his birth, his marriage, and his choice of vocation. - David O. McKay, Prophet

[*]Every noble impulse, every unselfish expression of love; every brave suffering for the right; every surrender of self to something higher than self; every loyalty to an ideal; every unselfish devotion to principle; every helpfulness to humanity; every act of self-control; every fine courage of the soul, undefeated by pretense or policy, but by being, doing, and living of good for the very good’s sake—that is spirituality. - David O. McKay, Prophet

[*]The real test of any religion is the kind of man it makes. - David O. McKay, Prophet

[*]There is in man not only an instinct, but also a divinity that strives to push him onward and upward. The sense is universal, and at some time in his life every man is conscious of possessing it. - David O. McKay, Prophet

[*]There’s one responsibility which no man can evade, that’s the responsibility of personal influence. It’s what you are, not what you pretend to be, that [matters]. - David O. McKay, Prophet[/list]

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple, the philosophy is kindness.

Yes...where did THAT type of religion go?

If, now, there is something you choose to experience in your life, do not "want it"-----choose it.

Do you not see that the spirit could just as easily work through your imagination as anything else?

You can define present conditions and circumstances as what they truly are: temporary and temporal.

Each circumstance is a gift, and in each experience is hidden a treasure.

The function of the soul is to indicate its desire, not impose it....live.

The Universe talks to everyone. All the time. The question is not to whom do I talk, but who listens?

You must honor your feelings. For honoring your feelings means honoring your Self.

The Laws are very simple.

1 Thought is creative.
2. Fear attracts like energy.
3. Love is all there is.

There is no such thing as an incorrect path--for on this journey you cannot "not get" where you are going. It is simply a matter of speed--merely a question of when you will get there.

Each to his own, without judgment...that is the motto.

Nothing holy has ever been achieved through denial. Yet desires change as even larger realities are glimpsed.

It's important now, it's time now, to change your mind about some things. This is what evolution is all about.

A society living in fear very often ...actually, inevitable produces in form that which it fears most.

"Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
John 15:13

Good one........... 🙂
