I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream  Vincent Van Gogh quotes Now since I have seen the ocean with my own eyes, I feel completely how important it is for me to stay in the south and to experience the color which must be carried to the uttermost- it is not far to Africa. Vincent Van Gogh quotes Life is a place of service, and in that service one has to suffer a great deal that is hard to bear, but more often to experience a great deal of joy.

The search for ultimate truth is, therefore, vitally important. Dalai Lama quotes I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment.

Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease.

Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.

Eleanor Roosevelt quotes Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. Anonymous quotes Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same. Anonymous quotes |
