Stretch your arms and take hold of the cloth of your clothes
with both hands.
The cure for pain is in the pain.
Good and bad are mixed.
If you don’t have both,
you don’t belong with us.
~Rumi
Blessed are the poor in spirit
for theirs
is
the kingdom of heaven.
~Jesus
To give pleasure to a single heart
by a single act
is better than a thousand heads
bowing in prayer.
~Mahatma Gandhi
