I thought it would be interesting to see what famous quotes people may have that they hold dear. Now that we do not have the WTBTS dictating to us, here are some of mine.
The Path is the Goal...Chogyam Trungpa
Beware of the person of one book.
~Saint Thomas Aquinas
....in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness. ~ President Obama
"What doesn't kill you serves to make you stronger" ~ Anonomous, but a favourite
Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river. ~ Lao Tse.
Without going out of your door, You can know the ways of the world. Without peeping through your window, you can see the Way of Heaven. The farther you go, The less you know. ~Lao Tse
So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today. ~Jesus Christ/Matthew 6:34
Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets. ~Jesus Christ/Matthew 7:12
If those who lead you say 'God's Kingdom's in heaven,' then the birds will fly there first. If they say 'it's in the sea,' then the fish will swim there first. For God's kingdom dwells in your heart and all around you; when you know your Self you too shall be known! ~Jesus Christ, Gospel of Thomas
The mind is everything. What you think you become.
~ Gautam Buddha
To God belongs the east and the west. Whichever way you turn there is the face of God. ~ Prophet Muhammed Qur'an 2:115
Inner peace is the key: if you have inner peace, the external problems do not affect your deep sense of peace and tranquility ~ Dahli Lama
The first and the final one being my favourites.
