One day, his precocious student accidentally broke the cup.
Hearing the footsteps of his teacher,
the student held the pieces of the cup behind his back.
When the master appeared, he asked: "Why do people have to die?"

to choose one's own way.

keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.

My vision of a real humanity is of pure individuals
relating to each other, but not tied in any relationship.

but not being possessive of each other.
They will be sharing with each other
all their joys and all their blessings,
but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.

Not everyone is always going to like what you do.
Your job application, your book proposal,

behind you in the supermarket checkout line
is occasionally going to think that you are doing it all wrong.
Don't take it personally.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

from the apprehension that he is not equally beloved
by the person whom he entirely loves.

Never say goodbye when you still want to try,
never give up when you still feel you can't take it.
Never say you don't love the person anymore
when you can't let go.
- Anonymous
The success of love is in the loving -
it is not in the result of loving.
Of course it is natural in love
to want the best for the other person,
but whether it turns out that way or not
does not determine the value of what we have done.
- Mother Teresa

lies in their own hands.
