I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something I can do.
Edward Everett Hale
Be not afraid of growing slowly. Be afraid only of standing still.

Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita
We can do no great things—only small things with great love.

Japanese proverb
All prayers are answered. We need to distinguish between a prayer unanswered and one not answered how or when we would like it to be.

A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires—that enter like rivers into the ocean which is ever being filled but is always still—can alone achieve peace, and not the man who strives to satisfy such desires.
Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita
Your mind cannot possibly understand God. Your heart already knows. Minds are designed for carrying out the orders of the heart
Emmanuel
The man with a toothache thinks everyone happy whose teeth are sound. The poverty-stricken man makes the same mistake about the rich man.
George Bernard Shaw
Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.
